Dam, That's Palestinian Hip Hop

lianet
Over the past seven years, a musical phenomenon has been rising from the back streets of Israel's predominantly Muslim towns, and sweeping the overcrowded Palestinian cities and refugee camps of the West Bank and Gaza. It is Palestinian rap or hip-hop music, an exotic blend of Arabic melodies, Western beat, and fluid lyrics recited in English, Arabic, and, quite often, Hebrew.

We look at the most famous Israeli- Arab rap group performs worldwide.

    • This story shows more about the new generation of people living there than I realized. I do wish I could understand Arabic for the music sake .... the rhythm is off the charts, Beasty Boys at their best and then some..... and probably more meaning too.
