Folk for the People: a benefit compilation for the victims of repression
in Ukraine
This fundraising project has been initiated by the European alternative
folk scene after a call from Mich Rozek (drummer of the Belgian Tribal
Folk band Rastaban, whose ancestors came from Ukraine) in solidarity
with the people in Kiev who were killed and injured while demonstrating
for the respect of their basic rights, for a better life, for freedom,
for a society without corruption and abuses. Hundreds were injured, more
than a hundred were found dead, shot or tortured. We've all seen and
followed what happened in Kiev, and it touched us all very deeply.
There's no hate, political motivation or radicality behind our
intentions with this project, only compassion and a call for tolerance
and diversity as basic values against injustice and the injustifiable
suffering of all these people.
In order to help the victims at our level as musicians, every band
accepted to donate one of his song for a downloadable compilation
available on Bandcamp. 31 bands from all over Europe and even Canada
have contributed.
All the benefits of this compilation will go to EuromaidanSOS, a
structure who's financially helping the victims and their families. You
can read more about this organisation and their work on this page:

The compilation will be available online at the end of March/begin
April. We'll keep you updated about the release via this Facebook event.
