DAM – Live Palestinian Hip Hop in Pittsburgh

Posted on Monday, April 6, 2009 in events

The internationally acclaimed Palestinian hip hop group DAM will perform on the Carnegie Mellon campus on April 9. DAM was recently featured in the Sundance documentary “Slingshot Hip Hop” and is Palestine’s first and leading hip hop group. With fiercely political lyrics sprung onto a musical backdrop of Arabic drumbeats and American hip hop rhythms, DAM is a cultural phenomenon born out of the Palestinian struggle for liberation. Featuring our very own local DJs Elie and Joud Mansour. Come get empowered!
