This episode of Arab Music Masterclass travels to Palestine to explore hip hop and the voice of protest. From DAM to MC Abdul, Shadia Mansour and Julmud hear how hip hop and electronica are part of Palestine's cultural identity and how it makes its mark on the world stage. Liverpool Arab Arts Festival's Creative Producer Laura Marie Brown ties a thread between the country's national poet and spoken word through to the Arab lyricism of modern day Ramallah.Tracklist DAM – Emta Njawzak YammaDAM – I’m Not a TraitorBelly – History of ViolenceMC Abdul – Shouting at the WallTamer Nafar feat MC Abdul and Noel Kharman – The Beat Goes offPalestinian Street PainHaykal – Sot RamallahRafeef Ziadeh – We Teach Life, SirMahmoud Darwish – A Little EveningShadia Mansour – Al Kufiyyeh 3arabeyyehMakimakkuk – TartaqaMuqatata’a – SimyaJulmud Haras – al JabelFind us online @liverpoolarabartsfestival @liverpoolarabarts @arabartsfestival
