GAZA CITY , Gaza Strip — In a very irregular night in the conservative enclave, hundreds of people of both genders gathered at the fancy Al-Mathaf hotel’s main hall, overlooking the beach, to attend a jazz concert performed by local and Swedish artists.
People of different ages seemed excited to attend such a concert not only because they were interested in music, but also because such concerts are barely possible in Gaza.
