Nearly 500 musicians and labels have geo-blocked their music from Spotify, including a number of Canadians.<\/p>\n

The campaign, called No Music for Genocide<\/a>, describes itself as a “new cultural boycott initiative asking artists\u00a0and rights-holders to remove their music from streaming platforms in Israel in response to its genocide in Gaza;\u00a0ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel; and political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

It launched on Sept. 18 through an Instagram post<\/a> that detailed how to request on Spotify that music be limited from a certain territory.<\/p>\n

Elisapie, BadBadNotGood, Ouri and Jonathan Personne\u00a0are among the Canadian musicians who originally\u00a0joined, as well as Montreal\u00a0labels Constellation Records and Arbutus Records.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, the list counts nearly 500 musicians and labels, with electronic musician Caribou recently adding his name.<\/p>\n

“In response to Israel’s ongoing heartbreaking genocide in Gaza and the broader occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people, I\u00a0am joining the many other artists who have committed to @nomusicforgenocide and removing my music from streaming services in Israel as part of the broader cultural boycott,” Caribou posted on Instagram on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n
