About DAM
'Da Arabian MC's', Dam also means 'blood' in Arabic. Heralded by France's Le
Monde as "The spokesman of a new generation," DAM is the first and leading
Palestinian hip hop group. It is composed of Tamer Nafar, 28, his younger
brother Suhell, 24, and Mahmoud Jreri, 25. All three members of the group were
born and grew up in the slums of the town of Lyd, in Palestine, and which was
occupied and most of its Arab inhabitants expelled in 1948 by European Zionists.
DAM's music is a unique fusion of East and West, combining Arabic percussion
rhythms and melodies together with urban Hip Hop. The lyrics of DAM are
influenced by the continuing Palestinian struggle for freedom and return. DAM
also address such issues as state terrorism, drugs and women's rights. DAM
