About this user

This channel is dedicated to Ramallah Underground. Stay tuned for more music soon!!

Ramallah Underground, based in Ramallah, West Bank, is a musical collective born from the desire to give voice to a generation of Palestinians & Arabs, in a situation of great economic, artistic, & political difficulty. The collective was founded by artists Boikutt, Stormtrap, & Aswatt, who aim to rejuvenate Arabic culture by creating "music that Arabic youth can relate to," in the words of Boikutt. They rap in English and Arabic, & are credited as some of the founders of Palestinian hip-hop.Their music combines hip-hop, trip hop, & downtempo, besides more traditional Middle-Eastern music, with a commitment to their local culture & an awareness of the imposing presence of Palestine in their lives.

As producers & as MCs, the collective has collaborated with numerous artists across the globe, most recently Slovo, on the track "Nakba" from their new album Todo Cambia.They have performed live in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Melbourne (at the Melbourne International Arts Festival, Liverpool, Cairo, Lausanne, Amsterdam (as part of "Rap4Justice" in the Melkweg, and Washington, D.C., and recently incorporated a visual set by Palestinian visual artist Ruanne Abou-Rahme in their live performances.

Ramallah Underground does not have an official release as of yet & mostly uses the internet as a way of circulating their music. In fact, their MySpace page led David Harrington of the Kronos Quartet to ask them to compose a song, "Tashweesh," which the quartet started playing live in 2008. & which is included on their most recent release, Floodplain.
