Tanfis II - Palestine/Gaza Benefit Tour  - Seated Tickets Range from $25 to $149 plus fees

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. 

Remix ⟷ Culture is proud to present the Tanfis II - Palestine/Gaza Benefit Tour, in partnership with Palestinian advocacy and humanitarian organization Rebuilding Alliance and Geter Done Productions. 

Tanfis II is a powerful 3-hour multimedia live experience showcasing 17 celebrated artists—traditional musicians, remix artists, DJs, and storytellers—from the Palestinian, Syrian, Lebanese, and Iraqi diasporas.

Join us in solidarity with the people of Gaza/Palestine, and humanity at large, for an unforgettable evening of seamlessly harmonizing acoustic and electronic sounds and images, traditional and remixed music, deep listening and dance, storytelling and trance, tatreez embroidery, and video art. 

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 collective liberation. We need spaces where we can collectively grieve, sing, dance, listen, honor, and feel empowered as a global community within a safe and inclusive communal space.

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 through Rebuilding Alliance, where an estimated 1.9 million (and counting) Palestinians remain displaced and lack access to housing, water, healthcare, food, and other basic human rights.
