Story

Please join us in supporting these music industry friends in their time of grave need and to show solidarity and mutual generosity for all the music given to us by Palestinians through the years.

Thanks to a generous donor, all donations will be doubled up to £20,000 so every pound you give will go even further.

PMX

PMX has deep connections to the music of Palestine and has been working to support the Palestinian music scene since 2016.

We have held five music festivals in Gaza to bring a safe space of joy to thousands of children in Gaza City and Khan Younis.

We have also produced three music expos in Ramallah, where music industry professionals from around the world have come to hear the deep generational talent that exists in the Palestinian music community and to open up career and networking opportunities to Palestinian musicians and professionals, globally.

Watar Band, Sol Band & Typo

In 2019, much to everyone’s amazement, PMX got permission for musicians from three of Gaza’s top groups, Watar Band, Typo and Sol Band, to leave and perform outside of Gaza for the first time. In front of a two thousand-strong crowd in Ramallah with top-tier production, they played to Palestinians from the West Bank, Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Israel and the Diaspora, and to our international delegates. It was a special moment of connection and solidarity for everyone there.

Today, though, all those musicians are homeless and at risk, navigating perilous landscapes. Unbelievably, they continue to make music where they can.

We all know the most immediate needs are safety, food, water and medicine. As music industry professionals we are also looking to the future to support these courageous people. We are asking the music community and friends to join us and support this crowdfunding campaign to help Gaza’s music creators.

With the help of the PMX team in Gaza and in accordance with PMX’s core principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability, all the money raised will be distributed to the artists and their families and will be used to fund music activities. Working with Amos Trust, our charity partner, we guarantee that every penny will be spent to support the music of Gaza.

Your contribution isn’t only about practical help; it’s about showing solidarity, nurturing resilience and attempting to rebuild lives and culture through music. This is the small contribution we can make to help the people of Gaza through this nightmare. Thank you.
