"Yā Ẓarīf al-Ṭūl (Oh, The Tall One)," is a traditional Palestinian melody reimagined by composer and lyricist Issa Boulos. Boulos's poignant lyrics chronicle the profound experiences of the Palestinian people during the Nakba of 1948, the Naksa of 1967, and their ongoing struggles for justice. With philosophical reflections woven into its verses, this piece resonates deeply with historical significance and emotional depth.
