It\u2019s a tragic contradiction: as Lebanon\u2019s state of emergency worsens, support wanes. That means it\u2019s time for updates on Lebanese-organized music efforts we\u2019ve covered, plus a new call to action. Today, you can tune in and support a 12-hour fundraiser bridging Beirut and the world, with DJ Haram, Hyper Gal, Marylou, Metro Al Madina, Model\/Actriz, Moor Mother, Nabihah Iqbal, Snakeskin, Yasmine Hamdan, and Ziad Nawfal.<\/p>\n
The broadcast has started as I\u2019m publishing, so put the soundtrack on first. Yaraka Radio is an independent online station. The stream runs 1p \u2013 1am Monday Beirut time, so noon-midnight central Europe, 6am to 6pm Eastern, 3am to 3pm Pacific.<\/p>\n
