Lucha Amada 3 - A Luta Continua benefit compilation

In 2021, Lucha Amada celebrates its 20th birthday! To mark this festive occasion, we are once again putting together a benefit compilation that brings together bands and songs we love. We will donate half of the proceeds to the [email protected] (Mexico) and half to JINWAR, a feminist project in the heart of Rojava (West Kurdistan/ North Syria).
We are happy to support feminist, internationalist struggles with this benefit compilation, examples that show us that another world is possible. We want to celebrate all of this with the sampler.
As with our previous compilations, it will be a colourful compilation with songs from 46 bands & artists, there will be unreleased songs alongside current hits and a few more surprises.
It will be available in three different formats: as a triple (3-disc) CD in the usual chic book format, as an insane 4-LP set and digitally as mp3s (bundle only) via Bandcamp.
The two phsyical versions (CD/LP) will, as always, have a fancy, colourful booklet with info about the bands and the political projects we want to support with the sampler!
Like "Lucha Amada - Musica Rebelde" and "Lucha Amada 2 - love music. Hate fascism", this third part is also released on the lovely little label JumpUp from Bremen.
The production of this insane project costs more than 14.000€, which we don't have as an uncommercial project - that's why we need you! So get your album in advance and help us to produce the whole thing.

The aim is to get the costs for the production of the compilation together in advance. With the last samplers we always had to borrow money from dear friends to pre-finance them. Since this one is going to be even fatter, the costs are even higher this time. Crowdfunding makes sense, because if people order the sampler in advance and pay for it, it definitely makes it easier for us.

If you also love cumbia, latin ska, mestizo, reggae, dub and fusion sounds and need new danceable sounds, and at the same time want to support the Zapatistas and the feminist revolution in Rojava, be sure to pre-order our compilation. There are also some little gifts for the people who want to donate a little more. The more money that comes in, the sooner the expenses are covered, so we can generate surpluses and donate.
So you make two things possible: you finance the production, you make sure that the compilation is not too expensive to sell and that donations come in faster.
