Episode 3: Al-Juthoor of the Arab Diaspora

This week we connect with members of the dabkeh dance troop, Al-Juthoor of the Arab Diaspora.

Al-Juthoor of the Arab Diaspora

Al-Juthoor (“Roots” in Arabic) of the Arab Diaspora is a Dabkeh troupe that raises awareness about Arab and Palestinian struggle, culture, and art. Directed by Wael Buhaissy, Al-Juthoor empowers our community and youth to take pride in our heritage, our past, and our future by honoring our history and celebrating our resistance. Across the borders of our diaspora, we assert our community’s connection to our deep roots in the land and the people throughout the Arab world, from Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Palestine.
