Learn Palestinian songs with Haneen Sabbah

By Ruth Gordon

Join us online, or in person at St Peter's church in Machynlleth, to learn and sing Palestinian songs with Haneen Sabbah

Join us for a special evening of learning Palestinian songs together with Haneen Sabbah, from Gaza, hosted by Ruth Gordon.

You can join us in person, upstairs at St Peter's church in Machynlleth, where the Rooted Voices choir will be joining as a group, or join online.

Haneen will teach us three songs, which you can listen to in advance here:

Suggested donation £5-15. All donations received for the session will go to Haneen's family, who are currently living in Gaza amidst the ongoing genocide.

Haneen Sabbah is a Palestinian facilitator from Gaza based in Portugal. She is a mother and a poet, and writes for the Palestinian writer's platform 'We Are Not Numbers'. Her cultural offerings include Palestinian food and traditional Arabic songs.

To understand more of her story, please listen to this recent podcast episode in which she speaks about growing up in Gaza and holding onto resilience in the face of grief: #87 Cultural Stories & Mysticism of Gaza: Haneen Sabbah

Ruth and Haneen met and became friends while they were both living in Portugal and love to sing together. Ruth runs the Rooted Voices community choir in Machynlleth, and invited Haneen to run this workshop.
