Every year on March 30th, Palestinians commemorate Land Day / Yom al-Ard, marking when six Palestinian civilians were killed and over 100 injured in 1976 whilst protesting against land expropriation across the Galilee.

Palestinian Sound Archive brings you a compilation of newly digitised music from Palestine, celebrating Palestinian heritage, culture and resistance.

This compilation features a number of artists, some of whom were assassinated because of their role in bringing this music to light. Featuring poetry by Toufic Zayyad, whose words were famously used throughout the first Yom Al Ard protests.

Some of the artists remain anonymous upon their request, to avoid being targeted, whilst others are still unknown.

All the proceeds from this album will go towards supporting Majazz Project to continue their vital work preserving endangered music, poetry and field recordings from Palestine and beyond.

Majazz project is an archival record label reissuing and remixing vintage Arab vinyl and cassettes and an alternative research platform.
