Our team has created sample packs curated from some rare music donated from our friends out in Kenya. The community producers utilized the samples to create new beats and remixes.

Amplify Posse Track (Single)

Solidarity Studios partnered with the Academy Group Chicago to help their cohort of "Amplify" students produce a song that showcases all of the things they have been learning in their financial literacy course.

Producer Spotlight 2020 (Album)

Producer Spotlight is Solidarity Studios in-house music production program that invites producers to collectively produce an album, build music production skills, and collaborate with Chicago artists.

Kpanlogo Riddim Competition (Playlist)

The Kpanlogo Riddim Competition is a curated project produced by Solidarity Studios, the University of Ghana, State Department, and a variety of independent artists in Ghana, Nigeria, Chicago, and New York. Solidarity Studios hosted a music preservation workshop at the University of Ghana to teach aspiring engineers and producers to record Kpanlogo music, an indigenous tradition of Ghanaian music. Solidarity Studios packaged the music into a sample pack and distributed the samples across a variety of production houses across the world. This resulted in a number of remixes that incorporate Kpanlogo drums and different genres of music. 

I Recycle Anthem (Music Video)

Solidarity Studios partnered with Faith in Place, an environmental justice education organization to give the youth program an opportunity to produce a song that expressed the many different environmental topics that they learned about in the Eco-Ambassador Program.

Dr. Kalonji, a resident artist and scholar at Solidarity Studios, produced "Palestina," a song that shares commentary of communities in the global south such as Palestine.
