About the Artist:
Israeli superstar guitarist/vocalist David Broza's performances feature a fusion of sounds from the three different countries in which he was raised: Israel, Spain and England. Broza has filled concert halls around the globe with his guitar mastery of styles ranging from flamenco flavored rhythmic and percussion techniques to whirlwind finger picking to a rock and roll. Broza has been active in Israeli-Palestinian peace movements for decades, and his hit song, "Yihye Tov," has become an anthem for the peace process. Broza was awarded a Spanish royal medal of honor by the King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, for his longtime contribution to Israel-Spain relations and his promotion of tolerance.

In 2010, Broza released "Night Dawn; The Unpublished Poetry of Townes Van Zandt," which received worldwide critical acclaim. And in July, 2011, Broza released a CD entitled "Third Language" and produced wholly through the Internet.
