the First Lady of Arabic Hip Hop: Shadia Mansour.
the man you hear at the beginning and see performing in the street at the end is Juliano Mer-Khamis -- a Jewish/Arab activist (and a cousin of Shadia) that was gunned down by extremists for teaching Palestinian children suffering under occupation how to express themselves and how to use creative expression as a form of nonviolent resistance. the Jihadists weren't hearing that.
with M1 of Dead Prez. about the cultural appropriation of the iconic symbol of Palestinian/Arab resistance - the keffiyeh.
with Chilean hip hop artist Ana Tijoux. love that spanish/arabic combination. Shadia came thru like a gatling gun.
