#Palestinian music

[yasyassie]

for every zionist supposedly worried about queer people's rights (only when it's convenient for them , of course)

and also for anyone who likes discovering new music or who loves oud or wants to support palestinian art, or all three of the above:

Let me introduce you to Clarissa Bitar, beautiful and very queer Palestinian musician and oud player

This is their website

And here are some of my favorite songs and performances:

“You will not kill the hope in us. Freedom for Palestine”

Baladicenter, a continuation of Baladi Dance Group, was established in 1991 in Beit Jala, Palestine. Founded by a group of promising young people, with a mission to preserve and pass down their rich Palestinian heritage through generations, consolidating and strengthening the Palestinian identity. The group emerged in response to the occupation authorities' attempts to deny and erase the ancient roots and heritage of the Palestinian people.

Please consider buying a Keffiyeh* to support expanding local productions and keep the traditions of Palestine alive. They're currently restocking and hope to get orders out soon.

*Either spelling appears acceptable.

The dance is interspersed with footage of the Great March of Return where young men danced a Dabke circle under gunfire and tear gas from the Occupation Forces, and the civilian defiance of First Intifada, whose 36th anniversary was commemorated on December 8th.

Glory to the Martyrs! 🇵🇸

Glory to the Resistance! 🇵🇸

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

LISTEN TO VERBATHIM!!!

Nemahsis is a Palestinian Canadian artist who has just dropped her debut album 'Verbathim'. In early October 2023 Nemahsis went and signed a contract with a record label for her debut album, literally a few days after signing the contract and Oct 7th, Nemahsis was dropped by her label.

Nemahsis said she has lost a lot of the connections she made in the industry because of her being Palestinian and pro-Palestine, she has had to make and release this album independently and completely out of her own pocket.

She's not just a great activist but also a really talented artist, her music is unique, beautiful in both her voice and lyrics. She has an interesting sound and some really beautiful music videos, she is SO TALENTED! If you're on tik tok there's a good chance you've heard 'stick of gum' by her! Please, please, please listen, stream and buy it wherever you get music or platforms you listen to.

She needs and deserves our support! Don't just champion white artists and activists!

I love nemahsis <3 Eleven Archers is beautiful and it's my absolute favourite EP of all time

[yasyassie]

Genuinely a great song but also heartbreaking

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

I don't know if everyone knows Radiooooo by now, but I've been using it to listen to Palestinian music from different decades. It doesn't have a huge selection, and I know it doesn't do much good or anything, but I think it's also nice to appreciate some of the beautiful things made by Palestinians in the midst of this kind of tragedy.

And also it's just good music in general. You guys should check it out :)

PALESTINIAN ARTIST 🇵🇸

Saint Levant feat. Playyard - I guess

(x) Saint Levant is a Palestinian/French/Algerian artist born in Jerusalem and based in Los Angeles. Raised in Gaza and then Amman, his name symbolises a reculamation of the orientalist fantasies that the Levant has historically been a victim of.

In the midst of all the blegh regarding Palestine, I do want to say this. If you think anything from the past century of Western media has any semblance of authentic Arab music, I urge you with the warmest of hearts and deepest of desire to go listen to actual Arab music. Nothing matches it and there’s so much variation.

Even in relation to the kinds of music present in Lebanon or Jordan or Palestine. Listen to Shamstep music, 47SOUL. Listen to Arab hiphop, DAM. Listen to Arab fucking Reggae, Autostrad. Listen to folk music, wedding music, dabke music. Please please please expand your pallet beyond the same duduk infested, arab bazaar, Shamar (Day) ass Orientalist slop.

MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL 2 feat. Anees, MC Abdul, Amer Zahr (LYRIC VIDEO)

In our lifetime Palestine will be free 🇪🇭 🫂🍉

[the-torchwood-magician]

For those who say "what about October 7"

There's a song on my playlists I listen to often, it's called Palestine Will Be Free by Maher Zain

Wanna know the year it's from? 2012.

Yes I am aware this genocide is 76 years old or possibly older. This is older than October 7 so stfu.

Spotify has removed Mohammed Assaf’s Palestinian resistance hit “Dammi Falastini” from its streaming service.

No explanation has been given, but we know damn well it’s not because of antisemitism.

Firstly, Dammi Falastini has absolutely no remotely antisemitic or violent content.

Secondly, Spotify DOES still offer multiple versions of “Horst Wessel Lied/Die Fahne Hoch” - a famous Nazi march. Including one performed by what appears to be a white supremacist band.
