"I’m happy to share with you my new single, Shmaali on Mother’s Day (we in the ME celebrate our mothers with the first breath of spring). Shmaali comes from the Tarweeda, a Palestinian folk song form that expresses grief and joy using coded language as an act of rebellion against occupation and rule. Tarweedas were traditionally performed by women and largely preserved and passed on by them. It is difficult to determine the origin of the song, but it most likely originated towards the end of the Ottoman Empire and the beginning of the British Mandate over Palestine. I am honoured to carry this tradition, especially in these times🌹To our mothers"
