Introducing For Yasser Murtaja (Free Palestine), a poignant protest song that echoes the resilience and spirit of a young Gazan journalist whose life was cut short amidst the turmoil of the Great March of Return in 2018.
Yasser Murtaja's story is not just a narrative of tragedy; it's a testament to the unyielding spirit of those who yearn for freedom and justice in the face of oppression. As the first journalist to lose his life during the Great March of Return, his aspirations to explore the world beyond Gaza were tragically thwarted, yet his legacy continues to resonate with individuals worldwide.
In this track, I pay homage to Murtaja's courage and determination. I tried to encapsulate the essence of his journey—a journey marked by dreams deferred, but never forgotten. Let his life serve as a poignant reminder of the injustices endured by the people of Palestine and a call to action for global solidarity.
For Yasser Murtaja (Free Palestine) is more than just a song; it's a powerful anthem that amplifies the voices of those silenced by conflict and oppression. It stands as a tribute to Murtaja's memory and a rallying cry for a world where freedom knows no bounds. With this song I try to honor his legacy and advocate for a brighter future for Palestine.
