The members are rooted in Bilad Al-Sham, spanning the divides from Amman to the Galilee, the Golan Heights to Ramallah (Palestin). This new sound of 47SOUL has rapidly amassed fans in the Middle East and Europe by blasting the electric Arabic debka sound through underground music scenes.
On top of the beats that have been bumping in the Middle East for centuries, 47SOUL hypes it up with analog synthesizers, hypnotic guitar lines, and shattering verses from the four singers. Every show ends in relentless dance and trance from all parties involved.
Their lyrics, mixing Arabic and English, call for celebration and freedom in the struggle for equality, inside Bilad Al Sham and throughout the world.
The current lineup of 2014 includes:
Z the People (vocals & synths)

you hear it now stomp on the ground
Dabke system we coming to town
Pick up your keys at the lost and found
Hold on Look what we Created
Refugee overseas still I’m a Native
Don’t Question the land she tell you her name
رسالة ما بعثتلي ، رسالة ما بعتلك
رسالة ما بعثتلي ما بعثتلي ما بعثتلك
رسالة ما بعثتلي ، رسالة ما بعتلك
وهسا جايي تلمني وانا من قبلا ياما حذرتك
لا بكتبي ولا بكتبك
لا بشرعي ولا بشرعك
دخلك هالحتشي كله
بيرضى فية ربي ولا ربك؟
يا منوقع تحت ...تحت ...تحت ..
يا منطلع فوق ... فوق ... فوق
احنا جسد واحد ..احنا نفس العصب ..
مرة فلقوا الأرض .. مرة اكلنا العصا ..
هاد الحل لاقوا غيره اعلنوا النفير
في الأرض سيروا ..مش مستاهلة سفير

The lyrics of "Dabke System" by 47soul are a celebration of Palestinian culture and identity. The song begins with a call to turn up the sound of the Galilee, a region in northern Israel with a significant Palestinian population. The lyrics urge the listener to stomp on the ground, a reference to the traditional Palestinian dance known as dabke. The song asserts that the dabke system is coming to town, encouraging people to pick up their keys at the lost and found, perhaps as a metaphor for finding one's cultural roots.
The lyrics also address issues of identity and belonging, with the line "refugee overseas still I'm a native." The song asserts that Palestinian land has a voice and a name, and that it is important to remember and honor that history. The repeated refrain of "ya monaqea taht, taht, taht / ya montala' foq, foq, foq" emphasizes the importance of unity and solidarity among Palestinians, regardless of their location or background.
Overall, "Dabke System" is a celebration of Palestinian culture, identity, and resilience in the face of displacement and adversity.

لا تسأل 🇵🇸
فلسطيني لِما تقف اعزل في وجه مُضرعه
ما ضره عاش او أُسر أو لقي حتفة بمصرعه
همه الاوحد أن يحمي بلاده وحدوده الاربعه
دينه ووطنه والمقدس وشعبه فمن ذا يمنعه
كلنا للقدس ويوماً ما سنُحطم للمُحتل أضلعه
وطنه قِبلةُ الاديان فهو ينبض بالعالم اجمعه
وإن جعلونا شتات فالحق ينادينا فمن يسمعه
صبراً فطبول الشوق تُقرع والحرب جامعه
