The idea behind the event is to bring performers from both sides of the Green Line, political spectrum and religious community, and to "arouse love and bridge the gaps."
Eldad, a musician in her own right, is a former Yesha Council spokesperson; her family and the Ariels are neighbors in the Judean Desert community of Kfar Adumim.
How did she come to organize this apolitical music festival? She told Arutz-7 today, "It wasn't my idea, but rather that of Nadav Nishri, a typical left-wing Tel Aviv club owner - but with one difference: He was saddened that people don't care, or are even happy, about the disengagement, and so he asked me to produce this event as a way of bringing people together. Of course, I immediately turned him down - and then two days later [giggle], I found myself producing the event. Not only that, but it quickly began developing into something big. Things began happening, and soon, musicians began coming to me, asking to participate."
Karni said that there will not only be music, but "also clowns, artists and goods from Yesha, and food, and lots of things. There will be musicians from both right and left, religious and secular; the idea is to have unity, not only in the audience but also on the stage."
Among the performers will be Nafka Mina, the Madregot, Sinai Tor, Gavriel Hason, Ariel Horowitz, and many more. MK Aryeh Eldad - "a top guitarist," his daughter Karni says - will also be there.
"I couldn’t believe there would be such a great response," Nishri said. "Apparently, this divide bothered a lot of people – those who are called the 'silent majority.' I'm very happy that the desire for unity has finally emerged, and in such a positive manner."
"We all have our political resentments," Karni Eldad adds, "but if we look deep down, we'll see that we're all brothers. It might sound na?ve, but I believe that without a little naivety, nothing will ever change here."
The event begins Monday, Apr. 11, at the Cultura Club in Tel Aviv.
