Famous for its natural springs and fertile lands, Artas is derived from the Latin Hortus Conclusus, the closed garden, which, according to oral tradition refers to Solomon’s gardens in the Song of Songs. It is a small village to the south west of Bethlehem.
The Artas Folklore Center has succeeded in establishing a very unique and successful band specialized in performing folklore songs with the help of traditional musical instruments some of which have disappeared from our memory, in addition to the wonderful Dabkeh dances.
The band performs traditional pieces such as: Dal’ona, Zareef Al-Toul, Eghzayyel, Jaffra, ‘Ataba & Mejana, Zaffet el-‘Arees, Samer. These pieces are usually accompanied by traditional musical instruments like the ‘Oud, Rababeh, Shababeh and Yarghoul.

Mohammed Mahmoud Khader As’ad: Singer, Dancer
Nimer Mohammed Moustafa Khalil: Musician (Shababeh, Yarghoul)
