Salaam (song)
Salaam (Hebrew: סלאם) or Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu (Hebrew: עוד יבוא שלום עלינו) is a peace song by Mosh Ben-Ari composed while he was in the band Sheva (seven). It is sung in Hebrew and Arabic, and 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 an anthem associated with attempts to create a peaceful end to the Arab–Israeli conflict.[1]
The song typically begins slowly and somewhat plaintively, and gradually increases in tempo and excitement.
