Two new compilations have just been released by our friends at Tunefork Studios and Beirut Synth Center, bringing together a vast cross-section of musicians and artists from Beirut and beyond.

At a moment when Israeli bombing and military escalation have once again forced mass displacement across southern Lebanon, this project gathers work from artists across generations and scenes, to raise funds for grassroots aid supporting those who have been pushed from their homes.

The list of contributors speaks for itself: Bachar Mar-Khalife, Julia Sabra, Mayssa Jallad, Postcards, Charif Megarbane, Yasmine Hamdan, Zeid Hamdan, Mazen Kerbaj, Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, Sary Moussa, Faten Kanaan, Mary Lattimore with Pascal Semerdjian & Fadi Tabbal, and many more. It genuinely feels like everyone who matters in Beirut’s musical landscape is present here, alongside close friends and collaborators from further afield.

Sales from the compilation go to Beit Aam and other local initiatives working directly with displaced families in Beirut and the South.

You can listen, purchase, and contribute directly via Bandcamp:
