Nemahsis' cover of Team by Lorde - in memory of murdered Palestinian journalists Saleh Aljafarawi and Anas al-Sharif, as well as all the martyrs of Gaza.

Nemahis is a Palestinian singer-songwriter based in Toronto whose cover of Team went viral in 2023 when she posted a clip of her singing over news footage of Israel's assault on Gaza. Nemah was dropped from her record label a few days after October 7th for being Palestinian and for voicing support for her people. After months of struggling to get signed she independently released her award-winning debut album Verbathim in September 2024.

The music video shows Nemah constructing Handala - a cartoon 10 year old boy who is a symbol of Palestinian resistance. He was created by cartoonist Naji al-Ali in 1969, and represents the age that he himself was when his village was destroyed in 1948 during the Nakba and he was forcibly displaced from his home. Handala remains as a 10 year old, unable to grow up until he can return to his homeland. He is always decipted with his back turned and his hands clasped to represent the world's complicity in the occupation of Palestine. Naji al-Ali was assassinated in London in 1987, never returning to his homeland.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
