Salaam (song)

Salaam ( Hebrew: ) or Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu ( Hebrew: ) is a song of Mosh Ben Ari composed while in the band Sheva (seven) and is sung in Hebrew and Arabic and that has gained popularity in Israeli folk music. "Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu" means "Peace will come upon us, yet.". It is an upbeat song that became a theme tune amongst almost all youth movements in Israel and amongst Jewish diaspora. A large chart hit in Israel several years ago, it has now come to symbolize a call for peace and end to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The song typically begins slowly and perhaps with plaintive style and will then, perhaps in stages, increase in tempo and excitement.
