Description
DAM is a Palestinian hip-hop group based in Lod, Israel. Formed in 1999 of brothers Tamer and Suhell Nafar and friend Mahmoud Jreri who are Arab citizens of Israel. They've spent over a decade performing globally including sell-out tours of Japan. The music is a unique fusion of East and West combining Arabic rhythms, Middle Eastern melodies, and urban hip-hop vibes. Their influences include Ghassam Kanafani, Ahlam Mosteghanemi, Mahmoud Darwish, Naji al Ali, Tupac, Biggie, Public Enemy, MBS, K’naan and Pharoahe Monch. Cooking Vinyl will be making re-issues for their two albums, 'Dedication' and 'Dabke on the Moon' as well as releasing a fresh EP. Le Monde hailed Dam as “spokesmen of a new generation”. "This country is not my country and it’s so racist. I’m not being played on the radio, I don’t have a local label and I’m not invited to festivals. Rhymes will not solve it. We just document it." - 2014 Since PMX, DAM will be playing two shows at Glastonbury this summer!
