The Bornhere clip by DAM was a centerpiece of the Bornhere tour that the mixed cities project of Shatil organized. I am the webmaster of Shatil and created the website for the tour and the clip. You can find it here, in three languages, explaining the background for the song and the situation of Arabs in the mixed cities of Israel. http://shatil.org.il/bornhere Here are some photos I took on the first concert of the tour. http://flickr.com/photos/hanan_cohen/tags/bornhere/ How did I get here? Jorn Barger of Robotwisdom put this song on his "1st-ever authentic mp3-blog" http://robotwisdom.com/jukebox.html This internet is amazing! Wow fucking WOW!
