Prevailing colonial systems of oppression like that of the Zionist Israeli state are built on a language of subordination hinged on the active erasure of indigenous voices—namely, Palestinian voices. With the persistence of structures of governance or systems of power comes the subversion and counterbalance of oppositional groups who attempt to hold those in power accountable. What contemporary thinkers term as “counterthought”—or the resistance to political rhetoric, disinformation, and propaganda—is present in Palestine and the fight for Palestinian freedom from the occupying Israeli force. &nbsp; By remembering and asserting Palestinian representation where it is otherwise missing, this act of protest resists Israel’s apartheid and strategies of erasure that confine Palestinians to the ever shrinking spaces of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Under systemic and violent threat of neo-colonial propagandist censorship and obfuscation, and unjust military violence and persecution, the conscious insistence of Palestinian presence dismantles Zionist campaigns of suppression.&nbsp; Silence in the face of this injustice enacted on the Palestinian people is a measure of complicity with the Zionist oppressor. &nbsp; As long as Israeli and Western campaigns of erasure persist, so will our unrelenting aspirations for a free Palestine. We will continue to help platform Palestinian narratives. We will not lose hope, the opposite of which is apathy and pacification. From digital and youth activists to civic journalists, let’s keep spreading awareness and aid for Palestine.&nbsp; https://sonduke.com/Credits-1 Fri, 08 Dec 2023 13:06:10 +0000 SONDUKE Magazine https://sonduke.com/Credits-1 SONDUKE Team https://sonduke.com/Links Sat, 09 Dec 2023 12:50:58 +0000 SONDUKE Magazine https://sonduke.com/Links Join&nbsp;BDS MOVEMENT boycott to&nbsp;end international financial support for Israel Donate to PRCS (Palestine Red Crescent Society) &amp; PCRF (Palestine Children’s Relief Fund) Sign AATMA's collective solidarity statement and call for action for Palestine https://sonduke.com/2024 Tue, 07 Jan 2025 07:00:44 +0000 SONDUKE Magazine https://sonduke.com/2024 Words: Hamad Al Mujeem, Malak Al-Suweihel Aziz Motawa, and Afra Al Hassan Published: 07.01.25 <img width="2160" height="1217" width_o="2160" height_o="1217" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/302a91d04a3bfc7d2f497cff16135fc7bc09657f459c43b1a9aefbffd223692e/logo2.png" data-mid="224266113" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/302a91d04a3bfc7d2f497cff16135fc7bc09657f459c43b1a9aefbffd223692e/logo2.png" /> ︎︎︎ https://sonduke.com/2024-Description Tue, 07 Jan 2025 06:51:46 +0000 SONDUKE Magazine https://sonduke.com/2024-Description SONDUKE is excited to share our team picks for the Best Albums of 2024.

The Uruguayan producer’s debut album—crafted from field recordings collected across Uruguay, El Salvador, Chile, China, Argentina, and Portugal—is an atmospheric meditation on creating rhythmic bridges between the human, synthetic, and animal. It is music that doesn’t simply reflect the non-human world but listens to it, collaborates with it, and creates within it . The album’s seven tracks operate as a kind of sonic kinship. Toads, sea lions, birds, water, and raw materials like metal and wood share space with cutting-edge electronic rhythms. Rather than merely sampling these presences, Zafiro is sensitive to their agency.&nbsp;In “Rana Cósmica,” amphibian croaks ripple like cosmic signals, intertwined with fractured percussion that feels both primal and futuristic. On “Vientos de Madera,” wind-like tones meld with the abrasive hum of manipulated plastics, creating a haunting atmosphere of organic and synthetic that collapses the boundaries between the two. Zafiro invites us to ask questions such as “How do forest green frogs process sound?” https://sonduke.com/Bela-Noise-and-Cries Tue, 07 Jan 2025 07:16:33 +0000 SONDUKE Magazine https://sonduke.com/Bela-Noise-and-Cries Words: Malak Al-Suwaihel <img width="2000" height="2000" width_o="2000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/67d9fc46bcf3cc2063ca117e517cc1ace0249e38be900200ac26b116b12e224a/Bela-min.png" data-mid="224266426" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" alt="Subtext / Multiverse LTD 2024" data-caption="Subtext / Multiverse LTD 2024" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/67d9fc46bcf3cc2063ca117e517cc1ace0249e38be900200ac26b116b12e224a/Bela-min.png" /> Bela - Noise and Cries 굉음과 울음 Noise and Cries 굉음과 울음 by bela Bela, a musician and performance artist based in Seoul and Berlin, mines their musical influence from Korean folk music and club culture. Bela’s performative style through an ictus of growling poetic stance over electronic rhythms is a reclamation of ‘queer’ art and expression and their latent anxieties in communication breakdown. Co-released by Unsound and Subtext, their latest LP, Bela Noise and Cries, takes elements of death metal, Berlin club culture, and Pungmul—a traditional Korean form of folk music that finds its roots in agricultural festivals serving as rituals to implore the divine for good harvest and communal solidarity. Captivating in its ethereal spectrum, yet grounded by its industrialized experimentation of sounds from post-punk, electronic, and elements of classical (Eurocentric), Bela Noise and Cries is a confessional, sonic diary that traverses a transformative melancholy on the fading transference of identity and self-actualization. https://sonduke.com/Iceboy-Violet-Nueen-You-Said-You-d-Hold-My-Hand-Through-The-Fire Tue, 07 Jan 2025 07:56:52 +0000 SONDUKE Magazine https://sonduke.com/Iceboy-Violet-Nueen-You-Said-You-d-Hold-My-Hand-Through-The-Fire Words: Afra Al Hassan <img width="2000" height="2000" width_o="2000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7fc6a2c4b79310d321fc0e1180374730f4133db51b41c502cc7539580aefdbe5/Iceboy_Nueen.png" data-mid="224267306" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" alt="Hyperdub, 2024" data-caption="Hyperdub, 2024" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7fc6a2c4b79310d321fc0e1180374730f4133db51b41c502cc7539580aefdbe5/Iceboy_Nueen.png" /> Iceboy Violet, Nueen - You Said You'd Hold My Hand Through The FireYou Said You&#39;d Hold My Hand Through The Fire by Iceboy Violet, Nueen British rapper and vocalist Iceboy Violet, alongside Spanish producer Nueen, offer a raw and emotionally charged exploration of love and loss in ‘You Said You'd Hold My Hand Through The Fire,’ released under hyperdub. The album immerses listeners in an intimate soundscape, where the juxtaposition of lo-fi beats and raw, intimate lyrics creates a striking emotional depth. Each track unfolds like&nbsp; a personal diary, unpacking a new chapter of vulnerability. The sound is often dense and foggy, yet each moment is rich with texture, allowing the listener to feel the emotional undercurrents beneath the music. At its core, You Said You'd Hold My Hand Through The Fire is a poignant and personal journey, capturing both the tenderness of new beginnings and the pain of endings.
