The “International Jerusalem Convention for Popular
Palestinian Folklore” invited El-Funoun to open the convention with a new
performance. Due to the limited time allocated, the group created a new
adaptation based on a different artistic interpretation of a number of songs
from “Wadi a-Tuffah” and “Mish’al”. The success of “Afrah Filastiniyah”
bolstered the pro-change school of thought within El-Funoun, and consequently
had a decisive effect on the group’s artistic planning and overall vision.
Script lyrics: Waseem Al-Kurddi “El-Funoun”
