Ooberfuse releases a new single, "To Love To Peace Today," a unique and personal dialogue between different parts of the world. Recorded inside the Soul Bar in Bethlehem, the song carries a kind of truth that can only be generated by something rooted in place rather than imagination. But as Peace Sunday and the World Day of Peace approach, this release feels palpably urgent and sincere, a reminder that music can be beautiful and mindful at once.
Writing between Bethlehem and the UK, the co-operation of the musicians feels natural rather than forced. Strings, keyboards, and instruments of the region, like the oud, and discreet percussive textures intertwine effortlessly, conjuring the warmth of a live small-venue show. In a way, Soul Bar itself becomes a character in the track, a modest room on whose walls you can see the strength and ingenuity of local artists who confront daily obstacles with constant resilience.
The track embodies lived experience, it is a conversation forged from place and shared humanity. The musicians play together with technical virtuosity and emotional openness, making each note feel purposeful, every rhythm an act of intention, and every moment a testament to a city that has faced conflict but remains committed to nurturing art as a form of resistance and hope.
"To Love to Peace Today" isn’t just a song, it’s a postcard from a village, an intersection of cultures, and proof that collaboration knows no boundaries. In less than five minutes, Ooberfuse turns the cosy stage at Soul Bar into a bridge linking Bethlehem to humanity and shows us, in no uncertain terms, that music is still one of the most potent and direct calls for peace.
