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
Children of Gaza simple words cannot explain Children of Gaza how come they don't feel your pain? Pictures have spoken Words the leaders would not say They stand as a token Of injustice and foul play But tell me did they hear The children of Gaza tell me did they hear them cry And tell me did they ever Did they stop to wonder why They had to die? It is so much easier Just to turn and look away so they don't see the crimes that the violent are committing every day Children of Palestine there is something we can do each and every time spread the word of how they're killing you Where there's still hope There will still be life And we will stand behind you In times of war and strife We will make them hear The children of Gaza Break the silence of their lies Because they never ever They never stopped to wonder why The children had to die? They won't find it easy Just to turn and look away we'll make them see the crimes that the zionists are committing every day
