BETHLEHEM (Ma’an News Agency) — The renowned Palestinian band Al-Asheqeen will perform for the first time in Bethlehem on Wednesday.
The concert will take place at the Conference Palace in Al-Khadr, south of the West Bank city.
Al-Ashiqeen was established in Damascus in 1977. The band was then led by Hussein Munthir and Hussein Nazik was the main composer. In 1982, the band performed before late Palestinian president and historic leader Yasser Arafat and most of the PLO leaders when they first appeared in public after withdrawal from Beirut.
The band was dissolved in the 1980s only to re-form in 2002. The group is now based in Ramallah.
