Liberation struggles have historically coincided with the rise of iconic musicians. From Nina Simone to Fela Kuti and Bob Marley to Fairuz, revolutionary times call for revolutionary music. Remix ⟷ Culture, a 501(c)3 NY-based non-profit organization, has long recognized the power of music to uplift marginalized communities during tumultuous times.
Experience the Tanfis II - Palestine/Gaza Benefit Tour
This October, Remix ⟷ Culture is proud to present the Tanfis II - Palestine/Gaza Benefit Tour, in partnership with Palestinian advocacy and humanitarian organization Rebuilding Alliance and Bay Area producer Geter Done Productions.
As we continue to witness the ongoing decimation of Palestinian lives and culture in the daily media, there is a dire need to remind ourselves of our shared humanity and collectively grieve, sing, dance, listen, laugh, and feel empowered as a global community within a safe and inclusive communal space.
Create a Cultural Shift and Celebrate Shared Humanity
This tour aims to positively shift the cultural consciousness needed to break the cycle of fear and violence by uniting us through Levantine music and art, as well as to fundraise for critical emergency relief for Gaza/Palestine, where an estimated 1.9 million (and counting) Palestinians remain displaced and lack access to housing, water, healthcare, food, and other basic human rights.
We invite you to join us in solidarity with the people of Gaza/Palestine, and humanity at large, for an unforgettable 3-hour journey, seamlessly harmonizing acoustic and electronic sounds and images, traditional and remixed music, deep listening and dance, storytelling and trance, embroidery and video art.
Featuring 17 Levantine artists in 4 performances across 4 cities in California, this once in a lifetime tour is a monumental undertaking. We need to raise at least $125,000–and to make this happen, we need your support!
