“Hip-hop is the land of the people that don’t have a land,” Chilean hip-hop artist and musician Ana Tijoux recently told the news program Democracy Now! Tijoux was born in France and raised in Chile, which hosts one of the largest Palestinian communities in the world. “Somos Sur” draws parallels between acts of resistance in Chile and in Palestine. The song is about the importance of resistance around the world. “Global resistance movements, whether in Latin America, Africa or the Middle East, are fighting against the same patterns of violence that have repeated themselves throughout history,” she has said. “Somos Sur” is a collaboration with Shadia Mansour, a British-born Palestinian rapper, and is performed in Spanish and Arabic.
