DAVID BROZA: “There Will Be Good”
We witnessed some historic days in the Middle East this week. What lies ahead is uncertain at best. What is certain is that David Broza will be singing, bringing joy, optimism and a hope for peace, as he has all over the world for 50 years. He co-wrote one of his most famous songs, “Yihiye Tov (There Will Be Good), as a peace anthem when Egyptian President Anwar Sadat visited Israel in 1977. David expected to sing the song for a few months and there would be peace. He’s still singing it.
He’s made music and broken bread with Palestinian musicians for years, perhaps most memorably in his 2013 project, album and film “East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem.”
So who else to talk with at this moment of joy, caution and hope?
