“SUMUD: Celebrating Resistance in Arab Arts and Culture In one of the world’s oldest cultures, Arab arts have flourished throughout the ages, embodied in rich language, elegant arabesques, and unique rhythms. Unfortunately, various powers seek to control the region, leaving much of the population hungry and cold, without shelter or medical care.
You can help.
Celebrate Arab art. Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC Action) AROC Action envisions powerful and liberated Arab communities living with freedom and self-determination from the Bay Area to their homelands. They are abolitionists, feminists, and internationalists who believe that the liberation of SWANA (South West Asian and North African) people is inextricably tied to the liberation of all oppressed people.

Captured at San Francisco’s Tupelo Monday Night Jam Session, King David performing this riveting rendition of ‘Lost’ – a song about people lost in ambition.

“The protagonist in the song is a drug supplier who uses his girlfriend as a drug mule. His lover gets lost in the intensity of the jet-setting lifestyle of drug trafficking and the subsequent money & lavish gifts that come along with it. He believes that one day she will live a normal life away from this criminal lifestyle, but it must come after ‘one last smuggle,’ which leads to another one last smuggle.”
