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

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
The rising of technology has turned our souls to steel We see the troubles on TV but we don't think that its real But what goes on in Palestine is not some silly game Its time that we all realize that people are people and we're all the same Bridge: It's time to wake the people of the world and let them know that freedom is a right for all Independence is the word Let's put our hands together and shout it out Chorus: People - Real People Real people have a right to rule themselves People - Real people Real people don't deserve to be oppressed For 50 years the world has tolerated the abuse of Palestine For 50 years the world has gone around pretending everything was fine But all the time a nation's been uprooted, its inhabitants abused Its time to stop the killing and destruction it should never be excused Copyright 2002, Doc Jazz
