Singer, songwriter, actress, artist, and content creator, Mira Awad has long been a major figure in Israeli and Palestinian life and culture. But Mira Awad is also a forceful activist for women’s rights, for equal citizenship for Palestinians living in Israel, for a two-state solution, and for environmental awareness. Her eloquent advocacy for dialogue and co-existence, for peace and solidarity, has brought considerable praise (and some criticism) across the political spectrum. She calls her music Arabic Fusion, a combination of styles and sounds that weaves together Arabic language with Western harmonies. Awad has worked with a multitude of artists, including Noa, with whom she participated as a finalist in the 2009 Eurovision song contest. For this performance, she will be accompanied by Israeli guitarist, Shay Alon.Awad–colorAwad–colorAwad–B&WMira Awad
