Fabrica Records releases 28-track compilation benefiting refugees

It’s easy to succumb to international apathy when you live in a huge and somewhat isolated country like the United States (separated as its citizens are from the seemingly eternal conflicts affecting parts of the Middle East and Africa), but more than occasionally, we do like to address distant tragedy with more than just verbal or mental sympathy.

Brooklyn-based label Fabrica is bolstering song-making among the list of compassionate actions with the release of You Are Welcome Here, a label compilation calling attention to (and hopefully benefiting) refugees in Europe, which has certainly been in the news recently as a result of related crises. The compilation features artists like Rambutan, Dan Melchior, STRNGLV, and more, and each of its 28 tracks is a previously “unreleased composition,” while at least some of those 28 appear to have been crafted deliberately with the relevant issue in mind. See track names like “Mediterranean Suite” by Luciernaga or the more explicit “Refugees Welcome - No Person Is Illegal” by Nocturnal Emissions.

You can download the entire compilation for free here, but be aware that doing so does kind of defeat the purpose. The folks at Fabrica recommend a donation of $5.00 or more, and all funds are being directed to the International Rescue Committee “to help support their work providing immediate assistance to refugees in Europe, including Greece, and to displaced people in Iraq, Yemen, and in other crisis zones around the world.”
