Do you love listening to music? Do you dance across your living room while listening to groovy music? Do you enjoy songs by Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Prince? If you love great music, then you’ll love songs by Big Harp George.
George Bisharat—a Palestinian American, Harvard graduate—was one of my favorite law professors at the University of California Law San Francisco (Hastings). I enjoyed his “Law in Middle Eastern Societies” seminar.
Now, Bisharat has transformed from human rights activist into one of the top musicians/singers in the world under his stage name “Big Harp George”.
Big Harp George was recently nominated for “Harmonica Player of the Year” by Blues Blast Magazine. He was also nominated for “Best New Artist” for his 2014 debut album titled “Chromaticism”.
My favorite song by Big Harp George is “Heading out to Itaipu” on his “Living in the City” album. I dance and party all night to this song. I pound my chest. I bang my head. I thrash and slam on the dance floor. I party like a rock star while listening to Big Harp George.
Brace yourself for his new album titled “Cooking with Gas”.
