Seffarine brings an internationally celebrated sound that Bass Player Magazine describes as a "gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco, Arabic and Andalusian music, Persian classical, and jazz". Their music transcends borders creating what SoundRoots describes as "an ear-caressing blend of sounds from Spain and North Africa."

Palestinian American comedian Amer Zahr joins the concert with his sharp wit and powerful storytelling, blending humor and truth to offer heart, laughter, and clarity in the face of injustice. His performance invites connection, reflection, and solidarity with the people of Gaza.

Together, these artists offer a soul-stirring celebration of resilience, culture, and resistance.

All proceeds from ticket sales and donations will go directly to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), which provides life-saving medical care to injured and ill children from Gaza. If you’re unable to attend the event, we invite you to donate directly to PCRF.

This event is proudly sponsored by the Jewish – Palestinian Alliance of Oregon (JPAO).

Our "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign aims to address urgent humanitarian needs and support long-term recovery efforts in Gaza. The funds raised will primarily focus on immediate relief, including providing essential medical supplies, food, medical treatment, clean water, and other necessities for families affected by the conflict. Additionally, our campaign will support rebuilding healthcare facilities and providing long-term support through impactful programs and projects to support the needs of children and the health sector in Gaza. It will also allocate resources towards trauma counseling, mental health support, and other initiatives for children affected by the conflict, aiming to foster healing and resilience within the community.
