Iraqi Pop Music


This link is to a facinating article about a Boy Band made up of Iraqi's who write pop music on the theme of peace and restoration and I believe in fact the band is made up guys from different religious backgrounds. While the music prehaps is reminiscent of IN SYNC (remember the attack/plague of the boy bands circa 1997-2001) its still a facinating read on many levels....It's one of those inspire hope stories and yes it is a bit sensationalized and a tad bit sappy.....but still......
