Say No More: transsexual Israeli singer Aderet tops playlist on Lebanese radio

The Israeli and Lebanese governments have difficulty talking to each other, even when it comes to talking peace.

Music crosses the border more easily and tends to find a more favorable reception - especially in the case of the Israeli singer, Aderet. A new trance track - "Say No More" - by Aderet and DJ Dvir Halevi, has been at the top of the playlist of Beruit Nights radio.

Beruit Nights is an internet based operation and has a wide reach among the Lebanese diaspora. Aderet was pleased that a Lebanese site agreed to play what she described as "a 100% Israeli song." She also expressed the hope that her success might pave the way for more Israeli musicians to get their music heard in Lebanon.

A spokesperson for Beruit Nights said they had no problem playing Israeli music.

Aderet's two earlier albums, Tenth Floor and Without the Evil Eye were recorded in Hebrew. Her first English album, Jewish Girl, is scheduled for release later this year.
