SHADIA MANSOUR Ft M1 (DEAD PREZ)-AL KUFIYYEH 3ARABEYYEH (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Shadia Mansour, featuring M-1 — “El Kofeyye Arabeyyeh”

Known as the “first lady of Arab hip-hop,” British-Palestinian Mansour chooses to rap in Arabic. Her single “El Kofeyye Arabeyyeh” (“The Keffiyeh is Arab”) refers to the traditional Palestinian checkered scarf, the kuffiyeh. She sings about protecting the kuffiyeh as a symbol of the Palestinian struggle and Arab identity.

Guest vocalist M-1, one half of Dead Prez, spits:

“The kuffiyeh ain’t no scarf/it’s a part of the movement/the symbolism is resistance.”
