TON-W This album presents 11 songs about Jerusalem, the city that the Bible calls "Mother of Peace", performed by the group "Banat Al-Quds" (Daughters of Jerusalem). Banat Al-Quds are a group of 25 young women grown up in Jerusalem who study music at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music (Jerusalem / Ramallah). On their new album most of the songs are related directly to their city. Two of them are written by the well-known Palestinian artist Rim Banna, others are older, including the monster hit "The Holy City" by Stephen Adams from 1894. The CD's producer, Erik Hillestad, has given this song new English lyrics dealing with today's situation in the city. The American Princeton Girlchoir also contributes on this song. This is a powerful act of solidarity from young women in a country Palestinians usually do not experience as a constructive contributor on the path to peace and justice. The Norwegian Girls Choir also joins in on one of Rim Banna's songs.
