The Kufiyeh Is Arab

That’s why we rock the kufiyeh, cuz it’s patriotic.
The kufiyeh, the kufiyeh is Arabic.
That’s why we rock the kufiyeh, our essential identity.
The kufiyeh, the kufiyeh is Arabic.
Come on, throw up the kufiyeh (throw that kufiyeh up for me).
The kufiyeh, the kufiyeh is Arabic.

This track from British-Palestine rapper Shadia Mansour is top draw revolutionary hip hop. The kufiyeh is the emblematic Arab headscarf whose symbolism has been devalued by those who think wearing one is just a cool fashion statement. Good to see a guest appearance from the brilliant M1 from Dead Prez, whose verse is pure fire.
