Resistance Songs Project
*Project Description*
6taloo Shababna 6taloo
6taloo shababna 6taloo is the first ever song released by the Palestinian Youth Movement. The title of the song translates to “Our Youth Emerged.” As the PYM is largely based in the diaspora, this song draws on themes of exile, desire for return to homeland, the role of the Palestinian community, especially youth, in struggle, and broader themes of revolutionary commitment and steadfastness. The song affirms the role and commitment of Palestinian and Arab youth to our struggle.
Sheilo el-7lem
Sheilo el-7lem is the second song commissioned by the PYM. The title of the song translates to “Raise the Dream.” The song captures the zeal of Palestinian Youth and our collective commitment to advancing our vision for a liberated Palestine in the face of exile and repression. It draws on themes of tradition, revolution, sacrifice, and our collective attachment, longing, and love for our homeland.
