Product description

The book includes a study shedding light on the patterns of folk singing in Palestine through the voices of the remaining creative women from the grandmothers, and the Badaa'a is the woman who creates the saying at weddings. The book documents Palestinian folk song in various topics including the wedding with all its stages starting from the meeting of young men and women at the water well or spring, the request, the dress, the engagement, the henna, the Farda, the groom's bath, the Zaffa, the bride's procession, the strange bride. This study was based on field research through visits to Palestinian cities with the help of municipalities, rural councils, women's centers, and meetings with the Badaa'a and recording what they narrate of stories. Among those villages and cities are Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, Zaatara, Arab Rashaida, Eastern Sawaheira, Al-Ubaidiya, Jerusalem, Ramallah, Kafr Malik, Jenin, Deir Ghasana, Tulkarm, Deir al-Ghusun, Qalqilya, and other historic Palestinian towns, cities, districts, and villages.
