“Lebanon Debate”
As usual, the artist Julia Boutros cannot isolate herself from what is happening in Lebanon or Palestine, and she is the one who accustomed us to patriotic songs from the song “Ghabet Shams Al Haq”.
Today, she found herself facing the challenge of resistance with the Palestinian people, so she drew from the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish and the Palestinian heritage to redistribute a traditional song that resonated with the throats of those who love Palestine and those who denounce the attacks they are subjected to.
This heritage dates back to before the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, as it shed light on what this people suffered from repeated occupations over the past decades.
Today, Julia returns to excavate from the memory of the heritage and sing with an imaginative background about what will happen to the children and women of Gaza, the traditional mawal:
Yama, Mawil Al-Hawa, Yama Mawiliya
Hitting daggers and there is no rule of scoundrel in me
And I walked under the winter, and the winter covered me, and the summer when the flame came from my fire
My life remains a vow of freedom
Yes, it is the freedom that the Palestinian people want, and Julia supports them in this demand by releasing this renewed song this evening, on Lebanese television screens, which we will eagerly await.
