دام

Have you heard of Palestinian hip-hop group DAM? According to DAM members, their moniker is an acronym for 'Da Arabic MCs and means "blood" in Hebrew and "eternity" in Arabic. In 2001, the unsigned group released the single "Meen Erhabe?" ("Who's the Terrorist?") via their Web site; it was downloaded more than a million times.

In November 2006, DAM released their first album, Dedication. DAM's lyrical language is Arabic. But Dedication's single, "Born Here" was released in Hebrew, in the hope of spreading their message. Their music serves as a window into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
