for every zionist supposedly worried about queer people's rights (only when it's convenient for them , of course)

and also for anyone who likes discovering new music or who loves oud or wants to support palestinian art, or all three of the above:

Let me introduce you to Clarissa Bitar, beautiful and very queer Palestinian musician and oud player

This is their website

And here are some of my favorite songs and performances:

Hello people from the internet, do you have any singer recommendations from the Levant (Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan & Turkey)? Preferably those who sing mostly in arabic and preferably women.

I only know about Shadia Mansour

From North Africa to the Persian Gulf, from Rai to dance-pop to romantic ballads BY DANNY HAJJAR APRIL 26, 2024

ENCOMPASSING DOZENS OF countries inhabited by close to 500 million people, the Arab world is enormously diverse, and its music reflects that. Our list of the 50 best Arabic pop songs of the 21st century includes everything from Algerian rai to Egyptian dance-pop to romantic ballads from Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The songs here can have traditional roots that go back many decades, but they can also reflect today’s pop trends — many do both at once.  At the end of the last century and early in this one, the music industry in the Middle East and North Africa was dominated by artists from Egypt and Lebanon, two countries that had long been cultural hubs with large commercial markets. But in the past 15 years artists from North African and the Persian Gulf have found more crossover success, though both regions had long had their own blossoming music scenes —and in the case of North Africa had produced many artists with audiences in Europe. We made the list by consulting a panel of academics, music journalists, industry professionals, historians, and artists. Sounds naturally change over time, and representing as many countries and communities as possible remained a priority as we compiled the list. The final ranking takes into account the quality of the song, its popularity, and its cultural impact. To be considered for the list, a song had to fit the traditional mold of the Arabic pop genre, or be a song by an Arabic artist in another genre that crossed over to have wide success with audiences in the region. Additionally, at least 50 percent of the song’s lyrics had to be sung in an Arabic language. Had that not been part of the criteria, this list would’ve included music from global artists like Shakira, French Montana, and Soolking.

Don't know if anyone will see or care about this but I just wanted to share with the world my deep love for the masterpiece that is the album Ahmad Al Arabi It has been a part of me since my childhood and now that I've grown up I realise just how great it is and I want to share it with the world. I don't think any other music and lyrics together make me feel like this one does. Ahmad Al Arabi is an orchestral album so it's a cohesive storyline, both when it comes to the music and to the lyrics. I recommend listening to it together since it's basically listening to a concert. Even if you do not understand a word of arabic (although there are many translations online), I believe that music like this trascends all languages and you can feel it in your soul any way. Darwish's poetry is a way to engage with Palestinian resistance through art, so I wanted to start posting about the songs on this album, sharing the words and the music. I hope that someone out there will try and listen to it, maybe discover new artists, or maybe remember childhood memories like me. I may or may not have chosen to start with this one because my name is Yasmine...

اذهب عميقا اذهب عميقا في دمي واذهب عميقا في الطحين لنصاب بالوطن البسيط وباحتمال الياسمين

Go deep into my blood, Go deep into the bread, So that we will have A simple homeland And a dream of jasmine yet to come...

A poet by Palestinian poet, Mahmood Darwish (1941-2008)
