Yael Deckelbaum

About

Yael Deckelbaum, the award-winning Israeli-Canadian singer, songwriter, and activist, captivates audiences with her new album “Surrender,” released in 2024. This album is a musical revelation where Yael explores softer, more introspective tones. After her powerful anthems for peace and social justice, she now reveals another side of herself: a personal journey through love, loss, and the search for inner balance.
“Surrender” is an intimate album characterized by sensitive melodies, acoustic arrangements, and deep lyrics. It creates space for vulnerability and invites listeners to dive into Yael’s emotional world. Here, it’s not the big societal themes that take center stage, but rather the individual experience, quiet reection, and the strength found in surrender.
Yael gained international recognition with her viral hit “Prayer of the Mothers,” the anthem of the March of Hope, initiated by the movement Women Wage Peace. Her music bridges cultures and generations, inspiring people worldwide to engage in social justice.
After her globally celebrated work as the musical voice of social movements like Women Wage Peace, she now returns to the roots of her craft: an intimate, heartfelt expression of self-reection and love. This deep musical journey, marked by acoustic arrangements, sensitive lyrics, and a
warm, personal touch, invites listeners to pause and embrace the quiet yet powerful moments of life. Her rst European Surrender Album Tour was an international success, as the whole tour was sold out. With “Surrender,”Yael consciouusly steps back into the personal realm to focus on the essence of her art, touching her fans in a new, deeper way.
Meera Eliabouni accompanied Yael on her rst Surrender Tour and will once again join her in 2025 to bring the magic of this special musical journey to the stage. Meera Eliabouni is a versatile Israeli artist with Palestinian roots, who builds bridges between cultures and hearts through her music, words, and presence. As a queer, multi-instrumental performer and singer, she advocates for peace, unity, and the power of collective expression. Her musical journey began in the small village of Eilaboun, and today she inspires people worldwide with her moving blend of blues, rock, reggae, and New-Age sounds. In addition to her own artistic work, Meera is a close musical companion of Yael Deckelbaum and accompanies her on the Surrender Tour. In their shared concerts, Meera creates a space with her powerful voice and empathetic nature where the audience experiences not only music but also healing, transformation, and hope.
With her unique ability to weave both socially relevant themes and personal stories into her music, Yael Deckelbaum remains one of the most inspiring voices of our time.
