KULTUR SHOCK is donating their new live record – ‘Live at Home’, to a charitable fundraising campaign to generate $50,000 for the immediate needs of the refugees trapped between borders in the Balkans!
The album, recorded on the road during their Winter 2015 tour in Europe was supposed to be a kick off of band’s celebration of 20 years recording and performance carreer – join the campaign here.
The band has been affected dramatically by the events of the last few months, when tens of thousands of refugees, mostly from war- torn Syria, have been taking the treacherous path from Turkey, through the Mediterranean Sea, through countless borders, on the way to Europe in search of safety, new life and new home. These waves of humanity on the move, not seen since the Balkan wars of the 1990s have encountered every adverse condition- natural and man made, have lived in misery and complete insecurity; they’ve been hot in the summer and now freezing; hungry, thursty, beaten by the police, shouted down by the rising wave of xenophobia, tortured by the sense of depravation of home and future. Vilified and used as a political coin, they’ve been slowly making their way to a new home and renewed sense of dignity.
This, however, is impossible if they freeze, starve to death, or perish of deseases on the way in the harsh winter conditions of their excile. In the same time, many people from all over the world have felt powerless in their desire to land a helping hand.

KULTUR SHOCK believes in a world with no borders, with no restrictions for all people looking for a better, safer life, and for application of their skills in pursuit of their dreams. Alone they cannot succeed, but with the help of the global village, they can and will get their second chance. The record that the band is donating to the cause is just a vessel designed to unite, to underline the importance of the cause and to bring people in its support together. All the funds raised by the campaign will be distributed to carefully chosen aid organization that have low to no administration expenses, and will be dedicated to provide shelter, food, baby supplies and medicine to those most affected by the harsh winter conditions.
The band calls on its fans and supporters in the Western world to not limit the donations to the $15 suggested minimum, but to contribute as much as possible. There is no better holiday gift one can provide to fellow human beings, and to themselves too.
Every donor will receive a digital download of KULTUR SHOCK‘s new record ‘Live at Home’ as a token of band’s appreciation and gratitude. Yes, it is a killer record, too.
KULTUR SHOCK believes in the power of humanity and its common spirit and appeals to everyone to contribute and to share the campaign information and its goals with their friends and families.
