Music No Respite
As relations have deteriorated between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, musicians have found themselves unwittingly caught up in the political fallout.
Daniel Barenboim was prevented by Israeli troops from traveling to the West Bank to teach a class of Palestinian
students in Ramalah.
The Vienna-based Palestinian oud player Marwan Abado was booked to perform in Jerusalem, and then detained for 48 hours at Ben Gurion Airport. He was told he had been blacklisted and was deported to Austria.
Suhail Khoury, the director of the Palestinian National Conservatory of Music, spent several months in prison after being arrested at a checkpoint for carrying cassettes of Palestinian freedom songs.
"We shall continue to sing for our freedom, but we believe that our cultural heritage is being targeted as it represents the essence of a nation," says Khoury's wife, Rania Elias-Khoury.
