57. Palestinian Rap Group DAM on Their 26 Year Legacy

In the late 1990's, the Palestinian rap group DAM released their breakout single Meen Erhabi? (Who is the terrorist?) interrogating Israel and the Western World's accusations of terrorism against the Palestinian people, "While we are living in our own country". All members of the group are Palestinian citizens of Israel and hold Israeli passports, giving them a unique insight into Israeli society. Today, 26 years later, the issues are the same but the members of the rap group are older. Tamer al Nafar, Mahmood Jrere and Maysa Daw sit down with Edgar of Kalam Podcast ahead of their gig at the Maxim Theatre in Stockholm. They speak about the differences between Palestinian and Egyptian rap, what having an Israeli passports means in the Arab world and if they are sick of rapping Meen Erhabi.
