A message of Resistance and Resilience to the Impact of Israeli Occupation in Palestine Through Hip Hop and the Song Ha’e’e Kfaye حقيقي كفاية (Really That is Enough) by DAM
<p><strong>Palestinian hip hop</strong> reportedly started in 1998 with Tamer Nafar’s group DAM. I was fortunate to meet this group in Portland Oregon on Nov, 2nd 2011. My teenage son then liked rap and I thought perhaps I can get him interested in the Arabic language through rap songs. Currently, He very often brings me songs to translate, and this story is inspired by Gabe’s persistence to learn Arabic and to educate me on the rap scene especially Palestinian rap. Most recently he brought me a song by Daboor called Inn Ann (meaning if time is ripe). I listened to that song many times and I was mesmerized by the verses, the rhythm, and the maturity of the lyrics. I then thought I’m going to research Palestinian rap and was able to find many more other songs. </p>
