Abdallah Rowaished: Palestine Hearts Kuwait

The honor of the first singer from Kuwait and from the Arab gulf to have a live concert in Palestine goes to the Kuwait singer with a hear of gold and a million dollar smile Abdallah Rowaished. Kuwait composer and singer accepted an invitation from President Mahmoud Abbas and went to the Weest Bank city of Nablus accompanied by his band and a media delegation.

I have always been a fan of this seasoned Arab singer that has a reputation in the entertainment circles of being both kind and inventive. His style of romantic songs is hard to capture by words, his gift with the oud is hard to find nowadays. And he took all that to Palestine and lit up the night.

This is a very kind gesture from this very proud singer from Kuwaiti singer, to visit Palestine and perform in Al Najjah University where thousands of Palestinians who appreciate his music and his style turned out for the concert. For the first time in more than 20 years, the flags of Kuwait were carried in pride in the heart of a Palestinian city with passion.

While Abdallah Rowaished entertained the masses, he toured around and got to know Palestine, he of course met with the officials in charge of tour and visited with President Abbas whom he sang for during the concert. Politics aside, this is one of those rare moments where a star that gains little from a concert goes, performs and benefits the place he visits. I hope that such visits continue and both parties feel warm toward each other.

Local artist Nasir Al Asmar opened for Mr. Rowaished by performing local favorites form the folklore.
