Berlin Musicians In Solidarity With Palestine benefit compilation
The LOUD & CLEAR Berlin Musicians In Solidarity With Palestine benefit compilation for Palestine Music Expo (PMX)is out today on Bandcamp!
Loud & Clear is a collective of international musicians and music industry workers rooted in Berlin, united by our solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for equal rights. No ceasefire will erase the war crimes committed by the Israeli state over the past 15 months – acts of genocide as recognized by the UN, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and more. Nor will it stop the oppression the people of Palestine have faced for the past 76 years, or absolve Germany of its continued complicity. We call on our fellow artists to make sure Berlin does not go silent.
With this solidarity compilation, we exercise our right to question and resist state-sanctioned violence, whether in Palestine or at our own doorstep. Profits will go to Palestine Music Expo, an organization working to support Gazan musicians and preserve Palestinian music and culture.
Palestine Music Expo (PMX):
Proceeds from sales of our upcoming compilation and release party donations will go directly to Palestine Music Expo, a non-profit organisation supporting musicians from Palestine. Palestine Music Expo was launched in Ramallah in 2016 with the aim of bringing Palestinian music to a wider international audience. Until 2022, they hosted festivals in Gaza and the West Bank, providing much-needed performance opportunities to local musicians. Since 2023, their focus has shifted to aiding Gazan musicians who have been forced to flee to Egypt: helping them rebuild their lives, heal from the trauma they’ve experienced and continue their musical careers. In addition to assisting with living costs and other essential resources (including instruments), the organization has facilitated jam nights, songwriting workshops, networking events with the Egyptian music scene, and art, music and drama therapy sessions for musicians and their families.
