One could call it subversive diplomacy: For her new album "Zan", the Israeli Liraz Charhi has secretly collaborated with musicians from Iran. Iran and Israel have been hostile to each other for decades. Officially, there should be no contact between the two countries. But then there are people like Liraz Charhi who practice diplomacy in their very own way. On Youtube, Lariz Charhi meanwhile has a large fan base in Iran. Over and over again, Iranian fans upload videos on which they dance to their songs. And that, even though women in Iran are not allowed to dance in public.
