Hermlin said he attended to hear their views, asking where donations would go and what the lyrics of an Arabic song used for choreography meant.
Berlin swing musician David Hermlin says he has been excluded from several European jazz festivals after wearing a yellow pin in support of hostages held in Gaza and asking questions at a pro-Palestinian meeting in Sweden.
The 25-year-old told Fox News Digital that he has been accused of intimidating participants but denies the charge. “I didn’t harass or intimidate anyone. I merely asked two questions I thought were legitimate,” Hermlin said.
Hermlin, who performs as Daveetheewave, is known for recreating the style of 1930s swing music with his big band, the Swing Dance Orchestra.
