For a Change: Songs for Social Change

Songs that provoke and persuade - a pungent collection in
Hebrew, Arabic, and English, released on CD by SHATIL, the NIF Empowerment and Training Center for Social Change Organizations in Israel

 

To mark its 25th anniversary, Shatil is releasing a unique, multi-language CD collection of social protest/social change songs in featuring top-ranked Israeli artists, among them David Broza, Hadag Nachash, Chava Alberstein, Amal Murkus, Dan Toren, and Aviv Geffen.

Each sparkly set of lyrics takes on a different aspect of Israeli's current social situation and rouses listeners out of apathy. They protest the link between politics and big money; ambivalent attitudes toward new immigrants, migrant workers, and other "strangers;" indifference about environmental destruction; the rise of the consumer culture; the effects of occupation and war; women's inequality, and more.

All the featured artists contributed their songs gratis to this collection. All proceeds from sales of the CD will go directly to the New Israel Fund for its support of Israel's social change organizations.
