Palestine’s first Rap Group DAM will be performing at Northeastern
afterHOURS on 4/7/10. They have been featured in many documentaries
aiming to define Palestinian identity and show their first hand
experiences in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
DAM’s music is a unique fusion of East and West, combining Arabic
percussion rhythms, Middle Eastern melodies and urban Hip Hop.
The lyrics of DAM are influenced by the continuing Israeli -
Palestinian conflict as well as by the Palestinian struggle for
freedom and equality. DAM also draw their influence from such
controversial issues as terrorism, drugs and women’s rights.
Musically they take their inspiration from both Hip Hop artists (Nas,
2Pac, Mos Def, IAM, NTM, Saian Supa Crew, MBS etc.) and Arabic music
(Marcel Khalifa,Kazem Saher,George Wassouf, Majda al Romi etc.)
DAM are now gaining increased international popularity around the
world through their unique message and ground-breaking live shows.
——
Entry into afterHOURS follows the ticket policy of NU +1. This means
any guests of Northeastern University needs to be signed in by a
student. Max is one guest for every student.
EVERY NU STUDENT INTERESTED SHOULD TRY TO INVITE FRIENDS. INTEREST
FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES MEANS THEY NEED HELP BEING SIGNED IN.
For people outside NU: I dont anticipate this being a problem as there
are many NU students around the venue. Dont let the ticket policy
prevent you from coming!
