During my brief dj career at diy venues this song used to GO off
Jul 25, 2024
Genre: Dabke/minimal synth
From: Jerusalem, Palestine
An incredible, lo-fi electronic album that documents the Intifada of 1987, a civil uprising in protest of the occupation of Palestine. One of the few remaining copies was discovered amongst 5,000 cassettes purchased in 2020 by Moโmin Swaitat of the label Majazz Project, and it was finally reissued in late 2021. Essential listening.
โJust one week after the outbreak of the First Intifada in 1987, Riad brought his sisters Hanan, Alia and Nariman together in their living room and began recording The Intifada album on equipment he had made himself. One of these was co-written with their friend, the acclaimed Palestinian writer Mahmoud Darwish.ย
Riad printed 3000 copies of the cassettes which he began distributing in the Old City of Jerusalem and across the West Bank. The Israeli Army immediately confiscated all the copies they could find, the vast majority of which remain in the military archives to this day. Riad was arrested, interrogated and detained for several months.โ

You will wake up dazed and confused from a vivid dream wondering what day it is but it's worth it, trust me.

I accidentally put a gif of Obi Wan saying "hello there" on my MacBook task bar a year ago right next to my downloads folder when I was trying to delete it and every once in a while I miss the downloads folder button and click it and Obi wan pops up and says hello there. Great for a good chuckle on a bad day. I keep thinking I should delete it but it makes me smile so Obi wan stays where he is.
