RAMALLAH, September 9, 2018 (WAFA) – English singer Roger Waters worked with Palestinian band Trio Joubran on a new a song in dedication of the four Palestinian boys who were killed while they were playing on the Gaza beach in 2014.
The song, titled “Carry the Earth”, was written by both the band and the pro-Palestine, former Pink Floyd singer, who previously recorded with the band a new song called “Supremacy” rejecting US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Just like their previous song “Supremacy,” which featured a few verses from “The Red Indian‘s Penultimate Speech to the White Man," a poem written by national poet Mahmoud Darwish, the title of “Carry the Earth” was also taken from a Dawrish poem.
Roger took it to his social media pages to announce the song.
“Boys…….our boys………..A new collaboration with my friends... Le Trio Joubran… We shall overcome……,” Roger said. “Dedicated to our boys Mohammad Ramiz Bakr, Ahed Atef Bakr, Zakariya Ahed Bakr & Ismail Mahmoud Bakr, who were murdered whilst playing on a Gaza beach, 16th July 2014.”
“Carry the Earth” will be featured on the band’s new upcoming album “The Long March,” out on October 12th on CD, Vinyl and digital download.
