Land02 and Land03 music compilations are out now. Scan the QR-code in this post, buy the album on Bandcamp & share. Your donation is much needed. Contributions will be given to local NGO’s like . Last time in 2024, Land01 raised 200,000$!

Sandmoon contributed to the compilation with an unreleased song – Plénitude, meant to be sandmoon’s next single, the first one in French.
The recording started coincidentally with the start of the war in March & when we knew about Tunefork’s initiative, we worked doubly fast to include it on this compilation.
Thank you for the dedication producing it & .wehbi , .arz , for making it happen.

The compilations gather unreleased gems by local indie artists, like , , , , , , , … 
I had a listen to the albums and I was truly touched by the soul of the artists in this initiative.
