Palestinian community event in Denmark celebrates culture of resistance


The Palestinian Community in Denmark, the Palestinian Association of Aarhus and the Jafra Folk Art Troupe organized an evening of Palestinian heritage and commemoration on Wednesday, December 9 in Aarhus.

The event opened with the Palestinian national anthem. Comrade Suheil Abu Kharroub delivered a speech about the anniversary of the Palestinian intifada and the founding of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

He reviewed the historic stages of the Palestinian struggle and saluted the martyrs, the prisoners and the wounded, and emphasized the role of the Palestinian people everywhere in the struggle. He also discussed the unjust imprisonment of the Palestinian leader and activist, Comrade Khalida Jarrar.

The event included various Palestinian artistic performances, including the featured concert, highlighting the visiting band from Palestine, from the Edward Said Conservatory of Music, who performed a series of traditional Palestinian songs and music. The Aarhus-based Jafra Folk Art troupe performed traditional debka dances while Nasser Badran performed on flute and Mahmoud Basha read his poetry.

The visit of the Edward Said Conservatory of Music to Aarhus comes in the context of the cooperation between the Municipality of Aarhus and the Municipality of Ramallah.
