00-lauryn-hillApproximately one hour ago, Ms. Lauryn Hill announced, via her facebook page, that she will be cancelling her upcoming show in Israel. The artist who has always stood for unity and brotherly love gave the following explanation:

“Dear Friends and Fans in Israel,

When deciding to play the region, my intention was to perform in both Tel Aviv and Ramallah. Setting up a performance in the Palestinian Territory, at the same time as our show in Israel, proved to be a challenge. I’ve wanted very much to bring our live performance to this part of the world, but also to be a presence supporting justice and peace. It is very important to me that my presence or message not be misconstrued, or a source of alienation to either my Israeli or my Palestinian fans. For this reason, we have decided to cancel the upcoming performance in Israel, and seek a different strategy to bring my music to ALL of my fans in the region. May healing, equanimity, and the openness necessary for lasting resolution and reconciliation come to this region and its people.

Respectfully,

Ms. Lauryn Hill”

All who loved when he dominated the scene with the single “bad from mi born” many years ago will appreciate this new track and video. This is Munga at his best!
