Salah and Daud Al-Kuwaiti, Jewish musicians in Iraq in the 1930's, are considered the creators of modern Iraqi music, and two of the greatest Arab musicians in history. In the 1950's they immigrated to Israel, where no one paid attention to their music. They forbade their family members to become musicians, lest they experience the same pain. Despite this, Daud's grandson, Dudu Tassa is a leading performer in today's Israeli rock scene. Releasing an album which features the original music of the Al-Kuwaitis in modern style, Dudu attempts to bridge time, space and culture, healing the family's pain.
