What is Radio Gaza?
Radio Gaza is an events series featuring a blend of local and international music, art, and poetry, with the aim of uplifting and celebrating Palestinian culture. This series brings community together to renew our strength in standing for our brothers and sisters in Palestine, and raising money for worthy causes like HEAL Palestine (www.healpalestine.org).
Founded in November of 2024, this events series has raised nearly $14,000 for Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and Heal Palestine. We provide a platform for Palestinian voices, and curate enjoyable evenings of music, art, and togetherness for audiences of all walks of life.

Shelby Natasha-
Shelby Natasha is a lofi chinese folk-rnb project from Seattle. Inspired by an upbringing growing up between China and the US, their music draws greatly from the folk music of both cultures, reimagined in a modern production context. With ethereal vocals, Guzheng (the chinese harp), lofi samples, and a live drummer, they create a vibe that is both haunting and groovy. They have played in festivals such as Oregon Country Fair, NAMM, Any Patch of Grass, Belltown Bloom, Imagine Festival, Northwest Folklife, Portland Folk Festival, Timber Festival, Shady Pines Festival, NXNE, and many more and have played support slots for the artists East Forest, Simrit, Yaima, and Chinese American Bear. In the Spring of 2027, we will be going to China to record a grant-funded full length record, in collaboration with local Chinese musicians.

is PEN, an artist and cultural worker who believes that her job in sharing her music is to “make the revolution irresistible”.

In Arabic phonetics, there is no “P” sound; PEN transliterates to بين, Arabic for “between”.
