Zumzum
Zumzum is a very cute and sweet child
He loves to dance… drawing and painting… and the neighbor Samahir
He says whatever he wants…and wears whatever he wants…earrings and bracelets  
His mother laughs about it… his father frowned at him… and the neighbors say "Oh my god"

When he grew up a little and knew more of the world
He played the game of lies, which they call seriousness
Wrong and right… the appropriate and inappropriate… the forbidden and the musts
He worked, walking the path
He changed the way he looks… stopped laughing and stopped being free spirited

Zumzum is a very cute and sweet child
He loves to dance… drawing and painting… and the neighbor Samahir
He says whatever he wants…and wears whatever he wants…earrings and bracelets  
His mother laughs about it… his father frowned at him… and the neighbors say "Oh my god"
Zumzum, why are you confused and hesitant? Don’t mind the neighbors’ words
Laugh, don’t worry
Be natural, original and honest… that is the way we love you
Zumzum cried and decided to return to his old self 
Zumzum is a very cute and sweet child
He loves to dance… drawing and painting… and the neighbor Samahir
He says whatever he wants…and wears whatever he wants…earrings and bracelets  
His mother laughs about it… his father frowned at him… and the neighbors say "Oh my god"

“Ghanni A`an Taa`rif” (Singing Sexuality) is a Palestinian youth music project, and an initiative of alQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society.  The project emerged from the desire of alQaws activists to reach out to Palestinian youth. alQaws aspired to open new discussions about sexuality and gender diversity in Palestinian society through music. Music is an expressive art form that has the potential to make us think and feel; it is a driver and catalog of revolutionary social movements, this one no exception.

The media campaign for the project was launched on the first of May 2013, primarily through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and email. The Facebook page holds all relevant information about "Ghanni A`an Taa`rif", as well as all written and visual materials that were and will be produced. These include three promotional teaser videos directed by Eli Reziq and Shahd Issawi. The campaign also included graffiti painted on the walls of Jaffa, Haifa and other cities.
