Palestinian Folktale: A Promise Kept

Today, I’m sharing a folktale from Gaza. It’s about a promise kept, a story within a story, a riddle, sworn brothers, and the king of the fi

You know what I'm just gonna keep posting jinn stories here, since I'm in research mode.

Let me know if you want me to tag em anything.

From The Powers of Evil in Jerusalem by MRS. HANS H. SPOER:

"Mrs. Einsler relates that a man who had fallen asleep after the bath, and had been accidentally overlooked when the place was closed for the night, was awakened by light and movement, and looking through a corner of the abaye (mantle) which concealed him, observed a large party of jinn occupied in the bathing and toilette of a bride. After a time they desired refreshment and were bidden by their chief to fetch a plate of kubebe from one house, and a bowl of ma'mul from another-newly baked cakes, over which the name of God had not been spoken. While the meal was proceeding, one of the spirits discovered and invited the watcher, who however was too frightened to move, and feigned continued sleep.

Music and dancing followed, and then a bridal garment was sent for, in which the bride was arrayed, when to his horror the watcher observed that the dress belonged to his youngest daughter, recently married. The bride happened to be near him, and, according to Arab custom, took no part in the dance.

Observing a vessel of dough within reach, he dipped in his hand, and marked a corner of the dress. When daylight returned the jinn disappeared, and the man arose and went to his home. His first task was to question his youngest daughter as to the whereabouts of her new green silk wedding dress, which was accordingly produced. It was found to be crushed as from recent wear, and marked with dough in one corner. Thereupon he related his experiences, warning his family never again to put away a dress or other article without uttering the name of God, for although in the present case the borrowed property had been returned, it might well happen that it should entirely disappear."

Dalal Abu Amneh is a Palestinian singer singing classical and folk music of the arabic musical heritage. دلال أبو آمنة فنانة فلسطينية تؤمن بالفن الانساني الملتزم الذي يدمج الطرب الرفيع والغناء الفلوكلوري العربي. Dalal Abu Amneh was born in Nazareth in 1983 to a music-loving family. Her talent has appeared at the age of 13 and she started singing Palestinian folk songs in different social and folklore events. She became famous in Palestine for singing classical Umm Kolthoum songs. Her first song "ana albi wrohi fadak" (I gift you my heart and soul) (Lyrics: Dr. Anan Abbasi, Composition: Alaa' Azzam) was in Top Ten for several weeks in local radio channels. Her second song "Bokra Jdeed" (a new tomorrow) (Lyrics: Dr. Anan Abbasi, Composition: Ghassan Harb) was chosen as one of top five songs of the Euromedcafe international "other song" contest for intercultural dialogue and peace (2006). Dalal believes in humane and roots music and tries to create a special ethnic post modern Palestinian style with the help of best Palestinian song writers and composers. Dalal and her band participated in several festivals around the world. She accompanies several international Orchestras such as MESTO Orchestra from USA and Simon Shaheen, oud and violin virtuoso and composer. Dalal is specialized in more than one musical genre. She mixes between Tarab (classical Arabic singing) and Arabic folk music and tries to focus on different Maqamat (the system of melodic modes used in Arabic music) and rhythms. Very recently, Dalal has released her first album wich was musically arranged by Habib Shehadeh Hanna (Composer, band leader, Oud and Buzuq player). In this album, Dalal shows the power of authentic Arabic Music, mixing both Folklorian and Classical genres, framing it in a new modern sense while keeping the same ancient and authentic soul of Tarab. Dalal is also doing her PhD degree in Neuroscience in the faculty of Medicine at Technion.
