I was introduced to Gazan hip-hop act Revolution Makers when I saw them perform in Gaza City during PalFest in May.

Since then the duo, brothers Mohammed and Osama Elsusi, have put out a number of new songs. Their newest song, 鈥淲hat鈥檚 going on鈥, features Ayman Mghames.

In the , they include an approximate English translation of the lyrics, but the spirit of the song is captured in the haunting chorus:

We wish for a life in which the cheapest thing is not our blood,
For our present days to withstand the challenge of what we鈥檝e lived through,
To live to think about our future, to come together, together 鈥 oh our brothers

You can hear all of Revolution Makers鈥 music on . I highly recommend it.
