South African band, The Mavrix, released the song on the 29 Nov, 2023 which coincides with the International Day of Solidarity with Palestine. The song is about solidarity with Occupied Palestine and the genocide in Gaza. It was inspired by the poetry of two close comrades in Hebron and Gaza who both lost close family and friends in the massacres by apartheid israel in 2023 in an unashamed ethnic cleansing and mass genocide of Palestinian civil society.
Despite the genocidal onslaught, Palestinians have shown an incredible resilience in resistance for justice and freedom. Almost like the symbolic Handala turning his back from the world feeling alone but steadfast in their collective resistance to apartheid atrocities as the world watches in silence.
But Palestinians are not alone.
This song is a show of solidarity from South African musicians and the broader African Artists Against Apartheid movement. It is based on an old South African melody named “Shireen’s Theme“ by an unknown composer but which was first produced by Joe Gany of Raj Records in 1967 and which became well known by musicians in the South African apartheid 70s and 80s.
The video was produced and directed by the very creative Yusrah Bardien, a very passionate activist for social justice and a member of African Artists Against Apartheid along with Jeremy Karodia from The Mavrix.
Because of this well known South African melody, the video created by Yusrah Bardien, the poetry of our Palestinian comrades and the music of The Mavrix, this song is a true collaboration of solidarity between South Africa and Palestine.
