YUZ, also known as Uriah Witztum, is a multi-talented guitarist, producer, and composer hailing from Jerusalem, Israel. Growing up in the culturally diverse border region between East and West, YUZ’s music is a vibrant tapestry that weaves the tension of his surroundings into a modern Arabic-Hebrew psychedelic guitar experience. He recently shared Gladiola, an ecstatic instrumental piece that masterfully blends ethnic and psychedelic elements. Interestingly, it evokes the spirit of some Greek folk tracks with bouzouki.
The track carries a magnetic, almost humanitarian aura, making it a fitting anthem dedicated to the innocent victims of the Gaza war, on both sides—Israelis and Palestinians. Here’s to hoping for a swift end to the madness that has gripped the region.
