Smadar Levi

This Israeli singer has dedicated her career to reviving and re-invigorating the spirit of Convivencia, coexistence between Jewish and Muslim cultures. She says the message in her artwork is of peace, unity, understanding, and tolerance and has dedicated the past decade to reaching people's hearts with her voice and reaching their minds with her message of peace and multicultural connection. Smadar believes it is imperative to create peace and understanding between Palestinians, Israelis, and the rest of the Arab world, and aims to educate audiences around the world about this conflict, its roots, and the shared cultural-musical tradition between Arabs and Jews.
