Dear Editor,
On behalf of HEAL Palestine, I want to express our deep gratitude to the Irish Echo and to the organizers of Keening for Gaza in New York on 26 February for your generous support during this terrible time of massacring and starving of the people of Gaza.
The connection between Ireland and Palestine runs deep, shaped by histories of colonial violence, resistance, and the resilience of a long-oppressed but proud people.

It’s an album that showcases the exceptional talents of two outstanding artists who have created something truly special and I consider it a must-listen for fans of the pure drop sound.
