Music is a bridge to empower and create connection. Musicians Without Borders works to inspire and support musicians that bring music to people and places affected by war, armed conflict, and displacement.

Without Borders is a collection of tracks inspired by live recordings of musical masters from the Middle East region. This collection has been accrued by a work of more than 20 years of travels and cultural immersion by Gio Israel.

Most of the songs in this compilation have been selected from the Middle East Essentials (MEE) sound samples project on Splice to expose producers worldwide to true ethnic sounds of ancient and contemporary instruments of the area. These sound samples feature performers from various cultures, religions, and backgrounds.

We want to thank all of the artists and the distributor Proton Music who will gracefully donate all proceeds from this compilation to the efforts of Musicians Without Borders.
