Lullaby, a reimagining of a traditional Palestinian song, will be released on December 12 to raise money for Choose Love’s Together for Palestine Fund
Musicians including Neneh Cherry, Nadine Shah, Celeste, Mabel, Leigh-Anne and Brian Eno have joined the bid for the Christmas No 1 spot with a single to raise funds for Palestinian-led organisations.
Lullaby, a reimagining of the traditional Palestinian lullaby Yamma Mwel El Hawa (Mama, Sing to the Wind), was put together by the team behind September’s Together for Palestine charity show. The new English-language lyrics were written by Peter Gabriel.
Eno said in a statement: “After a year defined by unimaginable loss, grief and injustice, we want to end with an act of love for Palestine’s children. Lullaby reflects their beauty, their longing and their hope. If we rally together and download it, we have a real shot at landing Christmas No 1 – and turning that moment into vital life-saving support for Gaza’s families.”
Released on 12 December, it will raise money for the Choose Love charity’s Together for Palestine Fund, which supports Palestinian-led frontline organisations such as Taawon, the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and the Palestine Medical Relief Society.
