What with the news I figured I'd dig up some of the concert footage I got back at Hatari and Bashar Murad's joint gig in November (which was fantastic and also a marathon) and never posted. Here's "Klefi/Samed".

[foreveryournameonmylipss]

I forgot about how much this masterpiece slaps

[setmeatopthepyre]

ماشي حافي حاسس حالي عالي كافي دافي و عافي تحملت كتير و ضاعت السنين و بعد العذاب أنا صامد مش راح انحني أنا صامد مش راح انحني أنا صامد مش راح انحني

Walking barefoot I feel Elevated and worthy Warm and healthy I have suffered and withstood so much And I've lost so many years And after all this torture I am steadfast and won't bow down I am steadfast and won't bow down I am steadfast and won't bow down

May 2024 - With Eurovision coming up, and the fascist state of Israel being allowed to pinkwash their genocide of the Palestinian people once again, let's remember Icelandic anti-capitalist band Hatari who showed their support for Palestine in 2019 when Eurovision was being held in Tel Aviv, and were fined for it (€5000,- lmao). Later that same month they brought out the pro-Palestinian song Klefi / Samed (صامد) together with Palestinian artist Bashar Murad.

anyway, the BDS movement is calling for a boycott of Eurovision 2024!

Bashar Murad in Klefi/Samed by Hatari ft. Bashar Murad because queer Palestinians exist and we shouldn't forget them

And after all this torture I am steadfast, I won't bow down I am steadfast, I won't bow down I've started and I won't finish I am staying and I won't just disappear I am worthy, I won't be erased I am worthy, I won't be erased I am steadfast and won't bow down I am steadfast and won't bow down

Reblog to show your followers Bashar Murad.

i still remember when that icelandic band showed up with palestinian flags, they took away their flags and they was fined for it. that was the year israel was hosting eurovision i believe

They weren't just fined they were kicked out of the country. Anyway they also collaborated with a Palestinian artist on this song during this time

A handful of non Eurovision songs from Eurovision artists that I've followed during and after the competition was over

Keiino ft. Charlotte Qamaniq - black leather (this is like choosing a favourite child but I love the whole Okta album so much and the project behind it but also Unbreakable and Summer of my Life, gang)

Hatari ft. Bashar Murad- Klefi / Samed (banger of a post Eurovision number. In their postcard outfits no less, legends)

Käärijä - Paidaton riehuja (I love him. This slaps. It was so hard to pick one of the many many songs I've had on loop this last couple of days but this one slaps)

Saara Aalto - Dance like nobody's watching (Saara I love you. I followed dancing on Ice avidly because you were in it and I was so excited for you)

Dadi Freyr (sorry my keyboard is lacking letters) ft. ÁSDÍS - feel the love (banger. What else need I say?)

Mélovin - Unbroken (legend. King. this still slaps)

[hatari-translations]

I remember watching some people reacting to the Klefi music video and saying they like the music but not the political message and I was just sat there like “the music is the literal political message.” I mean to be fair I think they may have been talking about the Palestinian flag in the video (I can’t imagine many American reactors would understand a word of Icelandic or Arabic) but still

The entire song is one big political message and also really that's the best part. I got goosebumps watching the flag unfurl there for the first time.

I'm watching the music video for Klefi/Samed by Hatari and Bashar Murad

I sort of wish I understood the languages, form the subtitles it looks to be a so powerful text ❤️

Please give it a watch, it is a powerful anthem even if you don't understand the words.

Eurovision Fact #535:

The lineup for Iceland's Söngvakeppnin 2024 was officially released, and among those hopeful to head to Eurovision is Bashar Murad, a Palestinian artist who has collaborated with former Icelandic representative Hatari.

Bashar's music deals with topics such as "Israeli occupation, the violence of daily life as a Palestinian, and how he remains hopeful despite it all."

Five Songs I'm Into Now (International Edition)

Tagged by: @riftdancing thank you lovely! I love a good excuse to discover and share music ✨

I've recently done one of these on my main blog here, so it's been great to highlight more songs that I've been vibing with of late!

This time, I've challenged myself to pick international songs since I listen to a wide variety; some of these have been long-time favourites of mine, while others are more recent. I discover a lot of new songs and genres using Radio Garden. (I highly recommend Transistor FM in Thessaloniki, Greece!)

I've also added a bonus song- my favourite from a band local to my hometown ✨

1. Frío Frío Live Version - Juan Luis Guerra 4.40 & Romeo Santos

From the Dominican Republic This one is a long-time favourite of mine- I've been listening to Juan Luis Guerra 4.40 since I was ~16ish and this is my favourite song of his. This live rendition with Romeo Santos is just *chefs kiss* and the whole live album is fantastic. It's also funnier if you watch the live recording of this song and realize that the reason the crowd goes so batshit when Romeo comes out is because he pops out of of a hole in the stage, it's so wholesome

2. T'Asteri Mou - Despina Vandi & Foivos

From Greece Something I used to do when I was playing Assassin's Creed: Odyssey was listening to Greek music. Since then I've become addicted to Greek pop songs. This one popped up on the station I'd picked in Radio Garden and I fell in love. I was learning Greek a few years back now, but only remember the basics + some random phrases from Duolingo - did you know 'soup' is considered feminine in Greek??

3. Qefs Milion A - Martin Mkrtchyan

From Armenia This popped up on a random Armenian radio station while I was browsing Radio Garden, and it always makes me want to get up and dance! I have nothing interesting or informative to say here, aside from that this song slaps.

4. Invoke - T.M.Revolution

From Japan My partner and I recently watched all of Gundam SEED (my... fifth? sixth? time watching, his first) and I was reminded just how much I not only love this series but the music. Choosing which opening/ ending theme I'd include in this was a challenge! I studied Japanese from middle school right through to my first (and last) year at university. I still remember a bit, to the point of still being able to hold basic conversations/ ask basic questions.

5. Klefi / Samed (صامد) - Hatari & Bashar Murad

Icelandic & Palestinian Collaboration **warning for flashing lights in the video!** I discovered Hatari from their appearance in Eurovision in 2019 and the song they performed (Hatrið mun sigra) is a favourite of mine. This one has been on repeat more frequently now, for reasons I'm sure are obvious from the tumbnail. While in Israel for the competition, Hatari joined forces with a Palestinian artist, Bashar Murad, to create this song of resistance; the band also got a harsh response from the audience for displaying the Palestine flag during the competition's grand final. The video filmed for this song is very powerful, which is why I've added this link from YouTube instead of Spotify. I highly recommend watching it and having captions on for translation. Timestamp 2:48 is truly breathtaking. "After all this torture I'm steadfast, I won't bow down." From the rivers to the sea, Palestine will be free 🕊️

Bonus; Yoke - Teenage Joans

From Adelaide, Australia A new home grown favourite that I recently discovered, this song take me back to my emo/punk days. This song has been on repeat- in my headphones, my car and my home stereo. My poor husband and cats are probably sick of hearing it. Did you know Australians normally sing with a different accent, otherwise we sound ridiculous? Examples here: 1/2

Thanks for coming on this chaotic trip with me!
