THE Raji al Zarou And his family came out of hell a few days ago. The Palestinian musician, his wife and their little girl are now in Jordan, thanks to the help of friends from abroad.
“It’s a miracle, I can’t believe that we live without the hum of drones over our heads” Raji told Vima. He does not want to tell us more about the “escape” from Gaza, where many of his close relatives remain trapped.
“Words are not enough to describe our suffering. I feel like I survived the Holocaust. That’s how we feel. There are no words to express the pain, the anger, the loss of the humanity we experienced in this war. The only thing that made us stand up is the belief that everything is in the hands of God, that he will show us mercy instead of hatred on this earth, that he will get Gaza out of the misery. “ The 32 -year -old musician told us.
Raji created the first rock band of Gaza 10 years ago. His reputation quickly exceeded the narrow limits of the strip thanks to reports of European and US networks. He continued to interview during the war, though he prefers to talk to his songs. “I can better express myself with music because this is my own free zone, there I get my true feelings about the genocide we saw unfolding in front of our eyes, about how it was to live in a city full of silence, destruction and demons” Add to our telephone communication.
For this reason, Raji returned in the ruins, with myrrh dangers, a video clip aired last year in Egypt in a concert of support for the Palestinian people. “I had to go many times from Nusirat to Rafa, where bombardment was continued. One of them killed 300 people. It was crazy. But a friend of mine had a studio in Rafa. I did the sixth time, I entered the building despite the danger. I made the registration. I set up an improvised antenna with a mobile and sent the material to the Aziz Baraka, who edited the video and included it at his concert ». The Palestinian musician told us that he was preparing to present new songs based on universal human values.
