The history of anti-colonial solidarity with Palestine through music is long and profuse. Since the 1950s, musicians and artists have been coming together from all around the world and redirecting their labor to create channels of mutual aid for Palestine through participating in compilation albums and organizing/playing in solidarity events. Whether that is in recent months during the ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza, the attack on Sheikh Jarrah and Gaza in 2021, the 70-year memorial of the Nakba in 2018 or the attack on Gaza in 2014 and the Second Intifada of 2001-2005, and so on.
This interconnected commotion, trans-continental empathy and urgent, long-standing solidarity has encouraged AATMA ✦ عتمة to initiate this series. The first part of this meta-compilation focuses on culling releases from the last decade. The meta-compilation will be updated on a weekly basis, so please stay tuned as more is yet to come! We deeply encourage you to listen and buy this music in support of Palestine. AATMA ✦ عتمة also believes that this music can support each of us in processing our rage and grief while strengthening our common volition and multi-generational world commitment for a FREE PALESTINE!

“This compilation exists as a collaborative declaration against genocide and global occupation; a gesture towards resistance.
A concerted action in support of the people who are moving on a path to their own collective liberations in the face of the western imperialist project. This is not about charity.
The intention and hope is that this compilation inspires while also providing another space for us – poets of word and sound – to actively make pace against those who perpetuate death, as the artist’s role is that of a truth teller.”

“Hello. My name is Dania and I run the Paralaxe Editions label. Outside of this, I am also an Emergency Medicine doctor and an Arab in the diaspora. Growing up, Palestine was a frequent topic of conversation in my home. What is happening now is not a new conflict. The horrific images we are currently seeing in Gaza are simply the latest manifestation of an oppressive system that dates back decades. I’m usually a private person, but as a doctor, a woman and an Arab whose whole life was uprooted by war and Western imperialism, leaving me displaced from my homeland, I feel compelled to act in the face of a situation that seems increasingly dire by the day. Looking to make some kind of positive contribution, I’ve reached out to friends, colleagues and fellow artists from a variety of geographic, social and ethnic backgrounds, asking if they would donate some of their music to a fundraiser compilation.’For Palestine’ is that compilation and I hope that the breadth of the participants involved helps to underscore the severity of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and in Palestine in general.”

“In the face of the current global atrocities, particularly in Palestine, Congo, Armenia, Sudan, and beyond, it’s indescribably frustrating and frightening to witness the suffering of the world we’re living in right now. Our guide of hope lies in the power of communities worldwide to amplify the voices of those currently silenced, demonstrating that solidarity transcends all boundaries.
Art and music have always served as a powerful voice for the oppressed, providing a source of hope and means for global solidarity. This compilation features 69 musicians and bands coming together to call for a ceasefire and an end to the occupation in Palestine, donating their tracks to support the people in Gaza.
Expressing our concern about the NGOs that have left Gaza at such a crucial moment and our worries that donations are not reaching Gaza immediately, all proceeds from this compilation will go directly to local organizations and to families and individuals displaced in Rafah aiming to assist them in acquiring tents, covering rent, and meeting their basic life necessities according to their needs.”

“Few ask the right questions about Palestine, yet they are answered time and time again. They are shouted and written and drawn and thrown at the world. They are hacked into the digital sphere and sprayed onto every wall. Every single question has already been speculated, thought of and answered. ًWhen your very existence is disputed, negated and denied, you don’t learn the answers, you know them. For them, those questions, however complex for the privileged mind, are simple, and the answers could be spoken in a single breath, or they could fill volumes. For them, it’s never complicated. And to them, we humbly dedicate this work.
This is an 19-track collaboration between Ma3azef, Heba Kadry, and a group of musicians who carry the fight from the streets to their studios. We offer a sonic tale of occupation, colonial violence and resistance in the face of an attempt to erase a land, a people, a history and a future.
It’s not complicated, and never has been.”

“In collaboration with Exist Festival and the memory of our dear friend Odai
www.instagram.com/existfestival.ps/?hl=en-gb
‘Resist to Exist’ is a collaborative album released in conjunction between Exist Records and Avon Terror Corps raising awareness to the Palestinian medical services’ efforts to safeguard their population in the face of Israeli airstrikes against their territories. This necessary initiative was led by Exist Founder, Odai Masri who tragically passed away on 30 June 2023. Odai Masri was the founder of the first Palestinian Electronic music record label Harara Records and Exist Festival. Forever cementing himself in Palestinian Resistance folklore, not a single day passes where the magnitude of the void left in his absence is not felt. A colossal character possessing the gift of transcendental humility and boundless compassion, it is in time like this when his voice and absence is most felt.
In light of the ongoing genocide being committed in Gaza, Exist Records and Avon Terror Corps have decided to release a second-run of the renowned ‘Resist to Exist’ shirt to raise much needed funds for medical aid in Gaza.”

“May 15th 2018 marked the 70th anniversary of Al Nakba, a day to commemorate the more than 750,000 Palestinians that were displaced from their homes, with hundreds of villages also being destroyed, following the 1948 Israeli Declaration of Independence. Today, these refugees and their descendants make up several million people divided throughout the Middle East.
May 15th 2018 was also the official opening of the new U.S Embassy in Jerusalem, which originally sat in Tel Aviv alongside all other foreign consulates in Israel. By moving the embassy to Jerusalem, U.S President Donald Trump officially acknowledged Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, despite warnings of the civil unrest this would certainly cause.
In the days leading up to and following the opening of the new embassy, Israeli forces have killed 121 unarmed Palestinians protesters and injured more than 13,000. The death toll continues to rise each day.
Beyond these senseless killings, the everyday life of Palestinians along the Gaza strip and West Bank is difficult at best. Since September of 2000, the Israeli government has been constructing a wall along the West Bank, now more than 440 miles in length, it cuts deeply into legally agreed Palestinian land and isolates more than 25,000 Palestinians. The majority of towns surrounding the wall are agricultural, and many of the farmers in these towns have had their land cut in half — unable to access their crops, and their livelihood, without passing through time consuming checkpoints guarded by armed soldiers. The wall also leaves Palestinians unable to access proper healthcare in Israel. To put the seriousness of the situation into perspective, a 10 minute ambulance ride from a nearby town into Jerusalem has increased to 110 minutes due to checkpoints.”

“The Palestinian “problem” has existed since the mid 20th century. Since the end of WWI and after the end of WWII major nationalist movements on both sides have led to the eruption of conflicts involving armies, paramilitary groups, “terror cells” and individuals. Foreign interventionism and religious, economic and ideological relevance and interests have changed the state of the conflict. The Palestinian leadership has been compromised and the Israeli forces have had the upper hand and have taken advantage of the image the western world had of the Arab world.
Since the last decades the tables have turned. Palestinian liberation groups have been replaced in the words of western media with terror cells. No more in the west does the concept of homeland for the Palestinians exist, no more than the religious concept of homeland for the Israelis. The first world countries have shown a great deal of willingness to acknowledge the Jewish state of Israel, built over hundreds of years of Palestinian existence.
We are not the ones to point the finger or “educate” people with our own personal views. A conflict is a conflict. Political and national interests are just that. Violations of treaties in wars are made so the western powers can “draw the line” whenever they desire, just like in Syria. The violence involved in taking from people what is rightfully theirs, their home and their land, destroying everything and everyone who stands in your way is no different in this conflict. And the killing of thousands of civilians, women and children, the eradication of whole families does not make this a war. It makes it a genocide.”
