Music For Generations
Music for Generations (MfG) is a community-driven grassroots initiative launched in response to the 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria. The project was created by Kanto Records and independent volunteers.
In April 2023, works from 43 international artists and music groups were compiled into a benefit album. The proceeds from this album have been used to organize awareness-raising events and support social responsibility projects.

The project aims to raise awareness in the short term by collaborating with NGOs and like-minded community-driven initiatives. In the long term, it seeks to bring the healing power of music to children in earthquake-affected regions while also providing employment opportunities for displaced musicians and music teachers.
Designed by the Music for Generations admin team, this project draws inspiration from models like El Sistema and Art Division. It aims to develop sustainable education programs for the earthquake-affected areas.
Admin Team: Sinem Ayata, Selin Çamlı, Salih Gaferoğlu, Ada Karadoğan, Utku Temel, Şafak Uyanık
