Gavilán Rayna Russom and Sanna Almajedi to curate Amplify Palestine compilation

Amplify Palestine — a new platform founded by Adalah-NY for artists who support the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions movement — has announced its first official act as a label. People of Eternity: BDS Mixtape vol. 1, a compilation album curated by LCD Soundsystem’s Gavilán Rayna Russom and DJ Sanna Almajedi, is due out April 10. The project opens with “Hideouts” by Anteloper (the duo of Jason Nazary and late legend jaimie branch) and 15 more tracks from Speaker Music (aka Deforrest Brown, Jr., aka @maketechnoblackagain), Dynoman, and others.

The tape’s title refers to a refrain from Palestine’s national anthem: “my people, the people of eternity.” It’s dedicated to the Palestinian cause and to branch — an ardent advocate for the cause until her sudden passing in August — and inspired by the famous 1985 Sun City album boycotting apartheid South Africa. It’s the first edition in a multi-volume series featuring artists from across the globe in solidarity with BDS.
