Salaam (song)
Salaam (Hebrew: סלאם) or Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu (Hebrew: עוד יבוא שלום עלינו) is a song of Mosh Ben Ari composed while in the band Sheva (seven) and is sung in Hebrew and Arabic and that has gained popularity in Israeli folk music.[1] "Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu" means "Peace will come upon us, yet.". It is an upbeat song that became a theme tune amongst almost all youth movements in Israel and amongst Jewish diaspora. A large chart hit in Israel several years ago, it has now come to symbolize a call for peace and end to the Arab-Israeli conflict.[1]
The song typically begins slowly and perhaps with plaintive style and will then, perhaps in stages, increase in tempo and excitement.
