Dana Salah Drops Poetic Tribute to Her Homeland With ‘Bent Bladak'

Dana Salah's new single 'Bent Bladak' is a bold reclamation of heritage and tenderness. Rooted in ancestral memory, the track channels Palestinian resistance through voice, ritual, and visual craft. Jul 02, 2025 Jordanian-Palestinian singer and songwriter Dana Salah returns with 'Bent Bladak', a sweeping new single and music video that blends resistance with ritual, ancestry with art. Translating to 'The Girl of Your Land,' the track draws inspiration from Tarweedeh, a traditional form of Palestinian vocal protest led by women, reimagined through Dana's own modern, melodic voice. The music video unfolds like a folkloric short film. One storyline follows a bride preparing for her henna night; another shows a woman leaving symbolic clues, like a pendant engraved with 'ل', to help her imprisoned lover escape. Gradually, the stories begin to mirror one another, weaving together the dual roles of the Palestinian woman: protector and nurturer, memory and movement. Visually, 'Bent Bladak' is styled with archival depth. Dana wears hand, embroidered garments crafted by Palestinian refugee women and heritage artisans. Her henna skirt, jewelry, and accessories are more than fashion, they are heirlooms in motion. Styled by Jad Toghuj, each piece carries echoes of exile, beauty, and resistance. 'Bent Bladak' is Dana Salah's offering to the women who shaped her and the ones yet to come, a love letter to the quiet power that keeps memory alive.
