Leon Rosselson/Reem Kelani/Janet Russell - The Last Chance

A unique recording. Eight songs that weave beautifully-crafted human stories around one of the burning issues of our times: the Israel/Palestine conflictUnapologetically challenging and provocative, this is a CD like no other: eight songs that focus on the seemingly intractable Israel/Palestine conflict. But these songs are in no way agit-prop. There are no messages, no slogans, no political catch-phrases; just stories that explore the human consequences when the dreams of two peoples collide. Janet Russell�s powerful singing of 'SONG OF THE OLIVE TREE' has moved audiences to tears wherever she has sung it. The celebrated Palestinian singer Reem Kelani sings a lament for the loss of home and homeland. The other songs, written and sung by one of Britain�s finest songwriters, Leon Rosselson, range from a story about his time spent in Israel in 1958/59 to the chilling prediction in 'THE THIRD INTIFADA'.
