Hundreds gathered in Montreal for the ninth Artists Against Apartheid concert featuring DAM, the celebrated Palestinian hip-hop group, who took the stage in Montreal for the first time at Café Campus.
Joining DAM at the concert was Montreal-based Iraqi hip-hop artist the Narcicyst, along with MCs from the celebrated local hip-hop group Nomadic Massive
DAM is originally from Lyd, Palestine and features Suhell Nafar, Tamer Nafar and Mahmoud Jreri. DAM emerged in the late 1990s and combines Arabic percussion rhythms, Middle Eastern melodies and urban hip-hop beats.
DAM’s music is gaining popularity around the world and is strongly rooted in the growing international movement against Israeli apartheid. Photographer Claudia Espinosa captured these striking images at the concert.
