“Let It Be A Tale” is a jazz & hip-hop album of resistance and hope. Six jazz tracks and three rap tracks, all inspired by the story, strength, and joy of Palestinians through the ongoing Israeli/US/UK genocide and 78 years of land theft, apartheid, and colonization.
The Palestine Quartet (Antonio Truyols, piano; Teresa Sanchez, bass; Fernando Garcia, drums; Chris Bittner, tenor sax) performs new jazz works, steeped in pain, joy, and social commentary. You will also hear us play rap tracks of justified anger towards the imperial structures that maintain the profitability of violence. Both jazz and hip-hop are genres born of oppression, appropriate mediums to use in the fight for Palestinian liberation. Additionally, my daughter Vanessa Imani, made a guest appearance at our concert. With the release of her own album “What Is Me?” 2025, she too is eager to make music for a more peaceful future. We are happy to celebrate this new work of artivism for a free Palestine, a free Congo, a free Sudan, Cuba libre; a truly liberated world where all children get to be children.
