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.
