Love Boat Records, based in Turin, has released a new album called ‘We Will Stay Here — Music for Palestine’. The album is dedicated to the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice, featuring contributions from artists including 3Phaz, Susu Laroche, Assyouti, Cosmo, and more. All proceeds from the album will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).
The songs in the album have been inspired emotionally and sonically by the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It is an artistic statement produced in times of genocide by artists involved on a human and political level. The album was compiled by Love Boat Records founder Andrea Pomini in late 2023. He said that he felt “helpless and furiously motivated at the same time,” amidst the “striking silence of so many acts – especially from the rock and pop camp – that are usually very vocal on every important issue.”
Pomini expressed his gratitude towards those involved in the album, saying “I thank them for taking such a clear stance in times of colonial violence, silencing of disagreeing voices, cultural witch-hunt, and distorted media narratives, despite all possible consequences.” Many of the tracks contain samples from around the world of protests, interviews, and poetry on the subject of Gaza.
The album is available to purchase in three formats, including a limited edition cassette, a download, or a t-shirt, and download combo, with the t-shirt featuring the album’s cover painting by Jordanian/Palestinian artist Tala Abunuwar.
