Salaam (song)


Salaam or Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu is a peace song by Mosh Ben-Ari composed while he was in the band Sheva. It is sung in Hebrew and Arabic, and has gained popularity in Israeli folk music. "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.
The song typically begins slowly and somewhat plaintively, and gradually increases in tempo and excitement.
