ACTION ALERT: DEMAND SPOTIFY REINSTATE MOHAMMED ASSAF’S SONG ‘DAMMI FALASTINI’
DEMAND the reinstatement of hit song ‘Dammi Falastini’ to the streaming app Spotify
The singer received an email from Spotify citing allegations of incitement against Israel as the reason for the song’s deletion, whose title translates to “My Blood is Palestinian”. The New Arab interviewed the Palestinian singer, who was born and raised in Gaza, and expressed his surprise after finding out that his song had been removed from the platform, but emphasised that he was also honoured as the song achieved its goal of “expressing the Palestinian people’s resistance”.
Mohammed Assaf said, “I checked my official page on the Spotify and Apple Music platforms and was surprised that the song ‘Ana Dammi Falastini’ was deleted.”
He went on to say “I received an official email about it, on the pretext that the song incites the Zionist enemy, which makes me more honoured that my songs express the Palestinian people’s resistance to the Occupation.”
