    Watching this video literaly brought tears to my eyes. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you Richard for posting it.

    Some of the performers I recognize are Shlomo Gronich (with goatee beard), Zehava Ben (dark haired woman) and Eli Luzon (albino). One of the guys singing in Arabic looks like Samir Shukri though he is Jewish so I could be wrong.

    I was right about Samir Shukri. Also performing Lubna Salma, Nivin Jabri, Elias Julianos, and Lea Shabat.
    It was written in the year 2000, so it’s not exactly new.
    Here is a link about the song: http://www.mideastweb.org/peacechild/pcsong.html

    Whoops, my mistake. Samir Shukri is a popular Israeli singer who has sung and written songs in hebrew but he isn’t Jewish.

    That is high praise coming from a fellow musician like yrself.

    Amir: Thanks for filling us in on the personnel & history. I wonder whether such a song could’ve been written & performed in these dark days.

    I am a member of the Portland (Oregon/USA) Peace Choir. For our next cycle of concerts we want to sing songs from parts of the world that are struggling to find peace…
    I came across the beautiful recording of the above song and I am wondering if you can help us find the written music to this song…and maybe others within the same spirit. We also need to know if the song is copyright protected.
    Thanks for anybody’s help
    And compliments on your wonderful and interesting web page!
