Mohammed Baraket and his brother Muhannad were watching their children dancing to Gangnam Style by Korean singer Park Jae-Sang, when they thought: How about we produce a Gazan version of the song?

They felt that such an initiative would not be simple for two men in their thirties, living in the cramped neighborhood of Sabra. The idea, however, stuck in their minds. They shared it with their friends and peers, but were mocked and almost gave it up. Yet, with the encouragement of their young neighbors, the two young men finally decided to film Gangnam Gaza Style. The video has spread widely across Gaza and elsewhere, with nearly a million people around the world seeing it.
