Come join us at Centrala for what promises to be a unique event with this double bill featuring Yazz Ahmed and Samer Rashed with their amazing bands. Both are touring with new material from their new albums but there is also a guest vocalist from Hebron performing a couple of more traditional tracks with Samer Rashed so really there is something for everyone. https://www.facebook.com/events/413809832615605/
Sameeha Huraini and KhalilMakhamra are both from villages of Al Twani village and Jinba villages in the South Hebron Hills.
They will be sharing a short documentary and a range of folk songs Sameeha has collected from the communities living in South Hebron Hills. She will be joined with some of our local Birmingham musicians. https://www.facebook.com/events/559801271436006/
Belinda Pyke has now returned from Occupied Palestine as an Ecumenical Accompanier - effectively a ‘human rights observer’, and will be talking about her experiences on 24th November. I'm sure that this will be a fascinating talk, so do put it in your diaries and tell anyone else who might be interested. See below for more details.
