Throughout the past year in Montreal multiple artists have come together for Artists Against Apartheid, an ongoing concert series uniting artists in solidarity with the growing international movement against Israeli apartheid.
CKUT radio presents a special radio broadcast featuring live performances recorded at the Artists Against Apartheid concert series throughout this past year, recordings that are being broadcast for the first time live on CKUT community radio in Montreal.
Broadcast will feature performances from groundbreaking artists from different front-lines within Montreal’s internationally celebrated music scene; featuring live performances from the celebrated hip-hop ensemble Nomadic Massive, jazz saxophonist Matana Roberts, cellist Rebecca Foon from Silver Mt. Zion, composer Antoine Bustros, hip-hop artist Vox Sambou, the Kalmunity Vibe Collective, Balkan musician Lubo Alexandrov, poet Kaie Kellough and others…
As a cultural initiative Artists Against Apartheid occurs as Israel’s military occupation over the Gaza Strip and West Bank intensifies, in violation of international law and multiple U.N. resolutions. Palestinian citizens face an entrenched system of racial discrimination and segregation, resembling the defeated apartheid system in South Africa. A matrix of Israeli-only roads, electrified fences, and over 500 military checkpoints and roadblocks erase freedom of movement.
In response to apartheid policies imposed on the Palestinian people by Israel multiple artists are coming together in Montreal through the ongoing Artists Against Apartheid concert series, presenting a cultural force in solidarity with the ongoing Palestinian struggle for freedom.
This radio broadcast is presented on CKUT radio within Tadamon!’s ongoing political campaigns operating in Canada, including the campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israeli apartheid state and the campaign to challenge the listing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization by the Canadian government.
