Gilad Atzmon & The Orient House Ensemble - Live Frankfurt 2008
Musician, writer and political activist, Israeli Gilad Atzmon has long been an outspoken critic of Israel's policy with regards to the Palestinian issue. He settled in Britain in the early 90s. In his early career he played with a number of British artists, including, surprisingly enough, Ian Duty and the Blockheads (if anyone remembers them). He formed his present group, The Orient House Ensemble in 2000 and has made a number of recordings with this outfit.
It's not appropriate to get into politics on this blog site, but for those interested, Atzmon's site has numerous links to his writings (gilad.co.uk). The band is named after the PLO headquarters in East Jerusalem.
His music contains middle-eastern influences, as in for example, The Burning Bush in this concert, though not exclusively so.
