Yet due to complications, he later spent his childhood in the Gaza Strip. In 2007, his family was forced to flee to a refugee camp in Jordan due to an outbreak of violence in the Strip. His debut solo release, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ih0_hqUWOTc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Gaza, With Love<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d serves as an ode to his childhood with a catchy Middle Eastern flair. His music sits in the sensual and hops across genres from early 2000\u2019s R&amp;B, sleazy rock, to hopped up U.K. garage and alternates between English, French, and Arabic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdelhamid\u2019s music transformed after he decided to take a step towards the vulnerable and stop using any vocal effects. His unadulterated voice, both husky and silky, was met with unrelenting praise. However, his \u201cloverboy\u201d era is a means to an end. Saint Levant does not shy away from the political, and he plans to continue making political music. Vocal about his own therapy journey, he plans to capitalize on his success for the benefit of others by opening therapy clinics in the Arab world. He also aims to invest in Al Wehdat, the soccer team he used to play for in Jordan.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-0c2f085109d60d2ece0cf6efba99fe5e ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:600px; height:550px; max-height:550px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"Youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" title=\"A Time to Cry\" width=\"600\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Sr5bAyMhGU?feature=oembed&color=red&rel=0&controls=1&start=&end=&fs=0&iv_load_policy=0&autoplay=0&mute=0&modestbranding=0&cc_load_policy=1&playsinline=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4>A Time to Cry \u2013 A Lament Over Jerusalem<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1956, displaced Palestinians were offered houses in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah with the promise that after three years of residency, titles would be transferred to their name. This remained yet another unmet promise to Palestinians, who were again confronted with Israeli settlers who sought to wrestle this neighborhood away from its longtime Palestinian inhabitants. In some cases, settlers were allowed to move into one wing of a house with Palestinian occupants reduced to the other, often at the expense of harassment by their new neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This album was recorded from one wing of a divided East Jerusalem house, which includes songs by four gifted Palestinian artists, Rim Banna, Nai Barghouti, Wissam Murad, and Jawaher Shofani. The tone remains somber, with a subtle sense of self-possession infused throughout the composition. The album bears such aural beauty while giving voice to the ugliness of oppression. Recorded over a decade ago, their words ring true as the struggle for justice continues.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-b124c4aa6f853d7e3d0b5ba016ce610d ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:600px; height:550px; max-height:550px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"Youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" title=\"This Is Why We Dance\" width=\"600\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dhI8TNq2XXA?feature=oembed&color=red&rel=0&controls=1&start=&end=&fs=0&iv_load_policy=0&autoplay=0&mute=0&modestbranding=0&cc_load_policy=1&playsinline=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4>Bellydancing on Wounds<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The album encompasses spoken word by the award-winning poet, Mohammed El-Kurd, and oud musician, Clarissa Bitar. El-Kurd\u2019s recitations exude such deep imagery that sweep you momentarily into his depictions, painting a profound picture of the chilling experience of one living in occupied Palestine. His words flow rhythmically to Bitar\u2019s music, which makes you want to sway to the beat while also shed tears of immense grief for the dehumanization of a magnificent people.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-0a91626a5e1a81c26f9132ae84139c45 ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:600px; height:550px; max-height:550px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"Youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" title=\"Mas\u00e2r\" width=\"600\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LoiyWTtinbk?feature=oembed&color=red&rel=0&controls=1&start=&end=&fs=0&iv_load_policy=0&autoplay=0&mute=0&modestbranding=0&cc_load_policy=1&playsinline=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4>Maj\u00e2z<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three brothers from Palestine, Samir, Wissam, and Adnan Joubran come from a long legacy of oud makers and players.
