Sada (Echo): Music from Palestine

Sada composite

Music becomes resistance with DAM’s hard-hitting hip-hop anthems, Rola Azar’s stirring folk music, Sama' Abdulhadi's fierce beats & Dana Salah’s electrifying blend of Arabic folklore & global sounds.

Experience striking voices of Palestine through this unforgettable journey through sound, heritage, and resilience. 

Rola Azar's artistry not only entertains but also serves as a cultural bridge, connecting audiences to the rich tapestry of Palestinian heritage through her evocative performances.

Dana Salah is a beacon of cultural fusion & musical innovation. Her music is a testament to her journey of self-discovery and empowerment, challenging stereotypes and encouraging others to embrace their authentic selves.

DAM proves that music is not just a form of expression but a weapon against injustice and a testament to Palestinian resilience, strength and identity.

The night will wrap up with a DJ set by the emblematic Sama' Abdulhadi & a closing soundscape of electronica and dance with DJ YA Z AN opening. This show is part of Shubbak Festival.
