Black Artist Database have announced a fundraiser for organisations providing Hurricane Beryl relief in the Caribbean.
It will take place at Moko Tottenham this Saturday (20 July), and will feature the likes of ELLADHC b2b Chey Selecta, T Dunn, Isaac Carter and some yet-to-be announced special guests.
All the proceeds from ticket sales will go towards organisations working on the ground in the Caribbean, with many parts being left wrecked by the Category 5 Atlantic storm – the earliest ever in hurricane season, and the most severe designation on the scale.
“The impact of Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean has been catastrophic, and as a venue deeply connected to the Afro-Caribbean community, we feel a profound responsibility to contribute to the relief efforts. Despite the challenges in identifying reliable channels for aid donations, our collaboration with organisations like Black Lives Matter and Passa Production, which have teams on the ground, has been instrumental,” the team behind Moko said in an email.
“We are committed to supporting five grassroots organisations through the funds we raise. Last weekend, the door sales from our sister venue, Jumbi, generated £3,000, which we’ve already donated. Our aim is not only to provide immediate relief for those affected by Hurricane Beryl but also to bring attention to the ongoing threats of the hurricane season. Our contributions, though modest, reflect our dedication to aiding the community in these trying times. Even if you can’t make the event we encourage people to donate by buying a ticket. If you want to help in another way, links to relief efforts are in ours and BLM’s Instagram bios.”
