Free Palestine CD
-A compilation released in solidarity with the Palestinian people and to raise money for the youth of the Balata refugee camps

Many of Iceland's finest rock, pop, hip hop and electronica artists have contributed to the Frjáls Palestína (Free Palestine on English) CD compilation to show solidarity with the people of occupied Palestine and raise money for the youth of the most densely populated refugee camp in the West Bank, Balata. All profits made of the album sale is awarded to sponsor Project Hope, a non-profit volunteer organization that aims to provide hope and opportunities for the youth of Palestine.

Free Palestine includes 18 tracks, half of which are exclusively released here and the other half is handpicked back catalogue material by the artists themselves. Four of the tracks are on Icelandic, 13 on English and one is instrumental. The tracklist includes material from internationally known artists such as Gus Gus, Mugison, múm, Quarashi, Leaves, Worm is Green, Ske, Vinyl, Tenderfoot and Ghostigital fronted by Einar Örn (who along with Björk sang for the Sugarcubes).

By buying a copy of Free Palestine you're not only supporting a good cause, but also getting your hands on "one of the best Icelandic compilation to be released in recent years" (Matti, program director of XFM, Iceland's leading rock radio station). See more local reviews here.
