CEASEFIRE TOUR in Scandinavia

 PRESS RELEASE

From November 2-16 David Rovics will be visiting from Portland, Oregon (US) to do concerts in various parts of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.  Kamala Emanuel, from Brisbane, Australia, will be singing with him.

In these terrible times, the emphasis on this tour, as on many past tours, will be war and peace.  Both Kamala and David have long histories as advocates for the cause of peace and justice for Palestinians, and everyone else.  As a medical doctor, Kamala is especially horrified by the Israeli military's rampant bombing of hospitals and ambulances.

Between September, 2000 and the present day, David has written dozens of songs related to the history of the Palestinian struggle, and in reaction to events such as Israel's current, genocidal bombing campaign, and prior events such as Israel's bombing of Gaza in 2021, the Great March of Return in 2018-19, conflicts in 2014, 2009, 2006, and events during the very tumultuous years of the Second Intifada that began in 2000.

Many of David's songs, essays on Counterpunch and Substack, podcasts, and interviews related to Palestine are collected at davidrovics.com/palestine.  Details about each of the stops on the Ceasefire Tour in Scandinavia can be found at davidrovics.com/tour.

David and Kamala are available to sing at any protests happening that can fit into their tour schedule (for free), and they're happy to talk to journalists or anyone else about their views on recent/current events in the Middle East.  David has done concert tours of both Israel and the occupied West Bank, as well as Lebanon and Jordan.  His song, "Jenin" used to be in regular rotation on BBC (until Andy Kershaw lost his job there).  He's been invited to talk about the Palestinian struggle, and his songs about it, on Al-Jazeera, Al-Mayadeen, RT, Press TV, and many other platforms.
