BURBANK, California (May 12, 2005) – World-renowned Egyptian singer, Iman
El-Bahr Darwish, will be performing this Saturday, May 14, 2005 at a concert
to benefit the victims of the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. Joining Darwish
on stage will be Napoleon, a rap artist formerly of Tupac Shakur’s Outlawz.
The event is being organized by the Southern California Muslim Community,

A popular Arabic singer in the Middle East, Darwish is making a tour of major
US cities performing at various benefit concerts. Darwish has already
performed before delighted audiences in New York, Boston, Detroit, and
Milwaukee during his tour.
The ongoing conflict in Palestine has created a humanitarian crisis, preventing
thousands of Palestinian families from living normal lives. Many have lost their
jobs and homes and are forced to live in poverty. According to the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the decline in the well-being and quality of
life of Palestinian children has been rapid and profound.
