    Il est plus populaire que Mahmoud Abbas et que toute la classe dirigeante palestinienne réunie. Mohammed Assaf, 23, ans est LE phénomène du moment en Palestine.

Depuis plusieurs semaines, il enflamme le jury de l’émission (tournée au Liban) et avec lui toute la Palestine. Chaque vendredi, en Cisjordanie et dans la Bande de Gaza, des centaines de personnes se réunissent pour écouter et regarder les prestations du jeune homme.

      http://mondoweiss.net/2013/06/keffiyeh-mohammed-jubilation.html

      Raise your Keffiyeh Raise it
      Sing the Ataba and Mijana and enjoy it

      Shake your shoulders tenderly
      Jafra, Ataba and Diheya

      And let guns contribute and make it more fun [interesting double meaning, the song so far has been describing a wedding where people are singing the ataba and mijana and doing dabka, traditionally those were always accompanied by shooting guns in the air]

      Raise the flag in Ramallah and Mountains of fire [Nablus’s nick name]
      your proud head band is a symbol of grit and determination [Keffiyeh as a head dress was traditionally associated with head bands 3qal]
      The first bullet tells the story of the journey
      When the time comes, we make what’s up go down [rearranging an old Palestinian proverb]

      Raise your Keffiyeh Raise it
      Sing the Ataba and Mijana and enjoy it

      We grew figs and olives in the orchard
      We brought the wheat seeds and the lemon trees

      When you call my country .. we will be ready
      Lighting the victory paths in the battle day

      Raise your Keffiyeh Raise it
      Sing the Ataba and Mijana and enjoy it

      Ce jeune chanteur s’appelle Mohammed Assaf et il est devenu, en quelques semaines, l’idole de toute une population, d’autant que le jeune homme a faillit ne jamais pouvoir participer à l’émission. Une ferveur qui intéresse tout particulièrement la classe politique.

    • Mohammed Assaf
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Assaf

      He was born in Misrata, Libya to Palestinian parents from Gaza Strip, Palestine. Assaf and his parents returned to the refugee camp at Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip when he was four years old.[2] He is one of seven siblings, three of whom, including Assaf, have been involved in performing live music. Assaf’s mother Intisar, a mathematics teacher, has stated that Assaf began singing at the age of five and “had a voice of someone who was much, much older.”[4] Assaf did not have professional training as a singer, he started his career singing at weddings and other private events.[5] He entered the public view in 2000 during a popular local televison program where he called in and sung a nationalist song to the host’s praise. Afterward, he was frequently offered contracts with local record companies.[4]

      Before his role on the television show he was attending Gaza City’s Palestine University majoring in media.[4]
