Palestinian Rapper Saint Levant Brings Fire and Message to Coachella

Coachella Valley, California – Palestinian-French-Algerian-Serbian rapper Saint Levant made a powerful debut at the world-famous Coachella music festival this past weekend. While his set time overlapped with the highly-anticipated No Doubt reunion, Saint Levant managed to pack the Gobi Tent with a passionate crowd.

The 23-year-old artist, whose real name is Marwan Abdelhamid, brought more than just catchy beats to the desert stage. He used his platform to raise awareness about the ongoing crisis in Palestine.

“Coachella, listen up!” Saint Levant boomed to the cheering crowd. “I was born in Jerusalem and raised in Gaza. As many of you know, the Palestinian people have been suffering under brutal occupation for over 75 years, and the situation in Gaza right now is horrific.”

Saint Levant’s setlist blended infectious dance music with powerful messages of solidarity. Fans, many sporting Palestinian flags and keffiyehs, roared with approval as he performed his hits “Very Few Friends” and “From Gaza With Love,” the latter track propelling him to viral fame in 2023. He also premiered new songs, “Deira” and “5am in Paris,” which he described as exploring the theme of exile, “a feeling us Palestinians know all too well.”

Saint Levant’s performance transcended Coachella’s usual carefree vibe. It was a potent mix of artistic expression, cultural pride, and political activism. Social media is buzzing with praise for the young rapper, with many calling his set a highlight of the festival.

One attendee tweeted, “Saint Levant brought the house down at Coachella! His music is incredible, and his message is one that needs to be heard.” Another wrote, “So impressed by this artist. Can’t wait to see what he does next!”

Saint Levant’s Coachella performance is sure to propel him to even greater stardom. He’s a rising star with a powerful voice, and the world is listening.
