Palestine’s Ramallah Underground
was born from the immediacy of musical experimentation and the need to
give voice to a generation of Palestinians and Arabs who face a
turbulent and uncertain political landscape.
Founded by artists
Boikutt, Stormtrap and Aswatt, the collective has always held a
commitment to creatively rejuvenate Arabic culture. They combine music
ranging from Arabic electronic music, hip hop, trip hop to down tempo
with a deep sense of their local culture and imposing presence of
Palestine in their lives. The outcome is a new specific sound, which
has never been heard before.
RU makes its Australian debut with
a gig that features original hip hop tracks, electronic productions and
a visual set by Palestinian visual artist Ruanne Abou Rahme.
Performed in Arabic.
