Seffarine: Performance and Fundraiser for Moroccan Earthquake Relief
2023-11-05 18:00 - 20:00 | Alberta Rose Theater, 3000 NE Alberta St, Portland, Oregon, 97211
In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Morocco, Seffarine has decided to make this concert a benefit for the ongoing relief efforts. All funds we raise will go to the Marrakech based AMAL non-profit which has been providing essential aid to affected communities. Many of these villages were inaccessible by road after the quake and Amal is committed to long term recovery efforts by providing meals, clothing, blankets, tents and solar lights. Aside from the earthquake relief, Amal has been doing great work for years as a women’s training center, supporting courageous women on their journey towards empowerment and financial independence.

Announcing a benefit for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

In this time of horror, we watch Israel commit atrocities day after day, seemingly without end, against an entire society in Gaza. It is a dreadful feeling, to feel powerless to do anything about this new Nakba.

Here’s one thing we will do: raise funds for humanitarian relief for the children of Gaza.

The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund is a highly recommended humanitarian organization that is focusing specifically on the plight of Gazan children. It is well-known to those of us who are active regarding Palestine solidarity. You can look them up here.

We are holding a benefit concert to contribute to this fund:
DATE: Saturday, February 3, 7:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Café Paloma, 93 Yesler (Pioneer Square)
ADMISSION: $20.00
ADVANCE RESERVATIONS NECESSARY

Music will be performed by the House of Tarab, a Seattle-based, Arabic music ensemble that performs classic and traditional material from the golden era of Egyptian music. The group also performs music of the Levant (Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine), and the greater Middle East.

“Tarab” is an Arabic word that describes a state of emotional transformation and bliss when one is wholly absorbed in music. Musicians: Stephen Elaimy on oud, David McGrath on ney, Jane Hall on percussion.

RESERVATIONS: Café Paloma is a small place with only about a 35-seat capacity. You must call in and reserve a seat: 206 405 1920.

IT’S A BENEFIT, SO EXPECT TO SPEND MONEY: We’re sorry, but this event is not for the broke. The House of Tarab has generously decided to donate their share of the admission charge to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund—and we will pass the hat in the course of the evening. And, of course, you’ll want to dine on the excellent fare offered by Café Paloma. (Note: if you can pay the admission charge with cash, that helps out the restaurant.)

There will be a Palestinian speaker from the Seattle branch of the solidarity organization Samidoun on hand to talk briefly about what is going on in Gaza.

to support MECA’s projects for children in Palestine and Lebanon’s refugee camps. This
year our goal is $75,000 in honor of 75 years since the 1948 Nakba that began
the expulsion and dispossession of Palestinians that continues to this day.
