Remi Bendali • Atouna el Toufoule #lyricvideo #shorts

The song "Atouna el Toufoule" emerged in 1984, gaining popularity through the rendition of a four-year-old named Remi Bendali. Born into a family of musicians in Tripoli, Lebanon, on July 4, 1979, Remi became the face of the song.

The lyrics depict the hardships faced by children in Lebanon, Syria, and Palestinian refugee communities affected by the 1982 Lebanon War. This conflict, spanning from June 6, 1982, to June 5, 1985, witnessed a power struggle involving Israel, supported by nationalist Lebanese militias, against the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) military, backed by Syria, and Hezbollah militias in southern Lebanon.
