Maimas is a newly formed band based in the besieged Gaza Strip. Palestinian activist, singer and intellectual Haidar Eid says “songs are an organizing tool in the arduous work of overthrowing occupation and apartheid. We hope that our songs will document the Palestinian desire to be free from the ravages of colonialism.” The band is currently raising money to record their first album.
