Palestinian Artist Rasha Nahas Drops Poetic Single ‘Ghanneeli'
Jun 15, 2025
Palestinian artist Rasha Nahas has just released 'Ghanneeli غنّيلي' (Arabic for Sing For Me), a poetic and deeply emotional track capturing the surreal weight of living through an ongoing global crisis. Built on themes of resilience and longing, the song is a lyrical meditation on holding on, despite it all.
Recorded between Berlin and Brooklyn, the track features synthesizer work by experimental artist Fly My Spaceship and was co-produced with bassist and longtime collaborator Jelmer de Haas. The sonic landscape is subtle yet expansive, weaving ambient textures with a voice that trembles with quiet strength.
The music video, shot by Dana Durr and produced by Nahas herself, blends dreamlike visuals with grounded emotion. The visuals mirror the track's aching stillness, transforming the song into a visual poem. As one of the track's verses reads:
With 'Ghanneeli غنّيلي', Nahas reaffirms her place as one of the region's most emotionally articulate voices, merging sound and poetry in the face of silence.

Palestine Picks "Palestine 36" as Oscar Entry
Yara Sameh Palestine has selected Annemarie Jacir's "Palestine 36" as its official entry for the international feature film category of the 2025 Academy Awards. The historical drama is set in 1936 during the Palestinian revolt against British colonial rule. The film follows Yusuf, a young villager caught between his rural home and the political upheaval in Jerusalem, as tensions rise amid growing unrest, British crackdowns, and the influx of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe. "Palestine 36" will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival with a gala screening during the opening weekend on September 5. The ensemble cast includes Hiam Abbass (Succession), Saleh Bakri (Blue Caftan), Robert Aramayo (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Billy Howle (The Perfect Couple), Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), Dafer L'Abidine (Children of Men), Yasmine Al-Massri (The Strangers Case), Yumna Marwan, newcomer Karim Daoud Anaya as Yusuf, and Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (The Beekeeper). Produced by Ossama Bawardi, Cat Villiers, Azzam Fakhreddin, Hani Farsi, Nils Åstrand, Olivier Barbier, Nathanaël Karmitz, Katrin Pors and Hamza Ali, the film was made through Philistine Films, Autonomous, Corniche Media, MK Productions, and Snowglobe. Production was initially planned to shoot entirely in Palestine but was disrupted following the events of October 7, with parts relocated to Jordan before returning to complete the film on location in Palestine. Jacir, one of the most prominent Palestinian filmmakers, previously directed "Salt of the Sea" (2008), "When I Saw You" (2012) and "Wajib" (2017), all of which were selected as Palestine's Oscar entries.
