Aug. 26, 2019 | Bob Boilen -- "Is it ok if I do a little dance on your desk?" asked 47SOUL singer and percussionist Walaa Sbeit on first seeing the Tiny Desk. I thought a minute, went under the desk, tightened the bolts, stuck some splints of wood under a few of the uneven legs and (feeling reassured) gave him the nod. It would be our first traditional Middle Eastern Dabke dancing atop the Tiny Desk and the first sounds of Shamstep (a kind of electronic dance music) behind it.
Shamstep is the creation of 47SOUL. At its heart is Arab roots music laced with dub, reggae and electronic dance music, including dubstep. It's positive-force music with freedom, celebration and hope for the people of the Sham region (Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria).
47SOUL's message of equality, heard here at the Tiny Desk (and on the group's current album, Balfron Promise) is meant for all the world. This is music without borders, mixing old and new, acoustic and electronic from a band formed in Amman Jordan, singing in Arabic and English. It's one big, positive and poignant party.
SET LIST
"Mo Light"
"Don't Care Where You From"
"Jerusalem"

Walaa Sbeit: vocals, bass drum; Tareq Abu Kwaik: vocals, darbuka; Ramzy Suleiman: vocals, synthesiser, keyboard; Hamza Arnaout: guitar

As a South African, seeing the t-shirt 18s into the video (1994, the year South Africa held it's first democratic elections) really made my day! As Nelson Mandela said, '"We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians." 🇿🇦♥️🇵🇸

Much love and solidarity to Palestine from South Africa. The world is with you. Your 1994 will come.
The rich culture ( dance, music chants, food, olive trees, traditional clothes as every city has its unique embroiderey) is an ultimate proof of the indigenous people of Palestine. From the river to the sea and it always will be.
you know you're Arab when you jump on desks dancing

1994 tshirt 🇿🇦❤️🇵🇸 Amantla! Awethu! Power! To the people!
Seeing that 1994 South African t shirt on one of the bandmates really warmed my heart, indeed our freedom is not complete without the freedom of the Palestinians. We love you so much, my dear Palestinian brothers and sisters. You struggle is our struggle. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

This performance is absolutely incredible. The last song really said it all. I’ll be coming back to this one as a new tiny desk favourite.🍉
Discovered 47soul 3 years ago at a midnight set at Glastonbury... one of the most unusual, but incredible performances I've ever experienced & loved them ever since! So glad Tiny Desk is finally giving 47soul the recognition they deserve! :)

47soul, for When you're in a cantina on the far side of the Andromeda Galaxy negotiating intergalactic peace.
The synth player’s leads and patches are so good.
This performance is so slept on man! The lyrics of Mo light and the beats are too deep
If Joe Strummer of The Clash were alive today, he'd be a massive 47 Soul fan. So great to see them go from their US debut at globalFEST last year to this amazing Tiny Desk Concert.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇧🇷
Thank you Tiny Desk!! 🇵🇸
Free Palestine!! What a legendary tiny desk live!! ❤
From the river to the sea 🇵🇸
5:03 your welcome 🕺
Since I discovered this last week, I just leave the tab open so I can watch it every day!
Man, these guys know how to put on a show! Love them.
Lets' henceforth call NPR "International Public Treasure". Thank you for the windows you open for us.
This is so unique it gives em goosebumps and makes me wanna cry

Palestinian traditional music combined with modern music, and the dance he did on the disk is popular in the Levant (Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan) but the one he is doing is basically Palestinian and is called Dabkeh... Look it up, both the band and the dance, you will not regret it.
Love to 47 Soul from Scotland. When we are through this virus, hope to see them here. Caught them in Gothenburg in May 2019! I dont care where your from...
Never wanted this to end. Good vibes all around
Can 47 Soul please come to Los Angeles and play soon? I dont know how to dance dabke but I promise to do my best!
This is so so needed right now, love!
Politics aside, it’s nice to see real musicians/talent.
god , every time he lands on the desk I think it's gonna break!! he is awesome!
47SOUL - Middle Eastern culture, with positive vibes, grooves with hip hop to make some great music. 10/10 would want to discover this again :)
I wish i could like this more than once. Amazing!

Dabkeh moves made my day :)
I smiled when he went on top of the table. Posi+ivi+y feeling.

Only discovered these cats a few months back. My new favorite band, for real!!
They are fabulous live! Instant love when I saw them in Toronto in 2019 at the MIXTO festival! Pure awesomeness!❤😂🎉
3:30 in the morning, woke in pain here in Santa Fe New Mexico (just heard you sing “I don’t care where you’re from”!). I’m in pain and you guys made me happy, love your energy, wherever you are. I saved and will listen again...I’ll play along when I can. Music will unite us all...eventually...all of us...I have to hope.
8 people already disliking what they cant make... what is wrong with you... i love the energy here.

An awesome fusion of musical sounds and languages, you can't help but groove out to this! Thanks 47Soul and NPR!
