David's new album East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem is expected to release on January 14, 2014. He will be touring for this new album.
One of the most dynamic singer-songwriter instrumentalists in the world, multiplatinum Israeli icon David Broza has won the hearts of audiences with magnetic performances and soulful lyrics. His virtuosic guitar playing fuses Israeli, Spanish, and English musical influences; his flamenco rhythms blend with intricate rock-and-roll finger picking. His enduring career has been defined by over twenty-five successful albums and numerous awards.
A steadfast humanitarian, Broza has worked to spread a message of peace through his music; since 1977, he has devoted substantial attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Songs such as the hit “Yihye Tov” and “Belibi” - a collaboration with the Palestinian music group Sabreen - have earned the performer accolades from critics and societies including Search for Common Ground, which applauds his commitments to peace. His dedication to promoting Israeli-Spanish relations and worldwide tolerance earned Broza a Spanish royal medal of honor from King Juan Carlos I in 2009.
The album Night Dawn: The Unpublished Poetry of Townes Van Zandt (2010) and Third Language (2011) have captured worldwide critical acclaim for fresh lyrics and expert instrumentals. Night Dawn sets Van Zandt’s poetry to original music by Broza, while Third Language was produced completely on the Internet - an unprecedented creative innovation in the music industry.
A powerful musician, passionate peace advocate, and music industry innovator, Broza awes and inspires audiences with his sincere message and musical allure.
About East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem
East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem was produced by Grammy-winning producers Steve Earle and Steve Greenberg. The album brings together an all-star cast of Israeli and Palestinian musicians who recorded together in East Jerusalem for 8 days and nights in early 2013. It features contributions from Arab-Israeli singer Mira Awad, Wyclef Jean, Gadi Seri, Yossi Sassi, and Palestinan hip-hop duo G-Town, who hail from the Shuafat refugee camp. Making the album in East Jerusalem with that cast was a brave artistic statement by Broza, intending to show that people can make peace with each other, even when governments seem to find it impossible.
