This is the complete song collection of the music composed by the Palestinian surgeon and self-taught musician Doc Jazz.

However, from time to time, songs will be on offer for FREE, sometimes even the whole collection - so check back frequently, add yourself to the or the so that you can stay informed about these offers! You can also INVALID -- Facebook Badge END -- Because of their reliance on a unique combination of politically critical lyrics and catchy beats and melodies, some of these songs managed to penetrate into mainstream Dutch media, most markedly the song 'Balken van Ellende' - a satirical song about the Dutch prime minister - which ended up being used in a news quiz on national television, where two questions were asked about the song (see videos). He also played all instruments and vocals on all songs, except on the album (produced by the African American producer Forrest Thomas) and on the Dutch song 'Doe Maar Multicultureel'. In these songs, Doc Jazz collaborated with prominent professionals from the Dutch jazz and fusion scene. His music can be found in a wide variety of styles ranging from piano ballads to funky music with a groove and with a taste of Doc Jazz's characteristic rock guitar solos (and on 'Front Door Key' the mesmerizing saxophone solos of Susanne Alt) - in three languages:. A Palestinian short shepherd's flute called the is also often featured in the songs. One last note: don't assume the music of Doc Jazz is only political! If you scroll through the vast collection of songs, you will find many songs about other subjects of love, and of life!

Lyrics
Take Huda She was taken in a raid Indiscriminately She never knew why she was made To bow down and let her eyes blindfold Her hands in cuffs She was never even told Was treated rough On her way from school Only 16 years old Was treated rough But why She was never told They took her in the jeep Straight to the prison camp Where she was told she’d stay In a cell cold and damp - Child prisoner in a zionist cell Waiting for someone to free her from this hell That’s the practice of the state of Israel And the time has come for us to ring the bell - Sometimes too hot to bear Sometimes the unclean air Made her sick to the stomach And she felt so scared Would she ever see mommy and daddy again Would those evil men keep her till the end - Child prisoner in a zionist cell Waiting for someone to free her from this hell That’s the practice of the state of Israel And the time has come for us to ring the bell - Baby come home Cause Daddy misses you And Mommy too Hundreds of Palestinian children are languishing in Israeli Jails - set them Free ! She cant even count the times they beat her up Terrified from the wild dogs threatening to eat her up And those angry looking men shouting in her ear If you don’t do as you’re told you will always stay here And the ice-cold water that they threw on her She felt like she would die it all became a blur She doesn’t even remember the things as they were But she knows she was wishing it to stop Set them Free Gotta set the children Free
