Radio alHara

راديو الحارة

Radio alHara was founded by friends living in Bethlehem, Ramallah, and Amman and connects people across the world.

Launched in Palestine at the very beginning of worldwide lockdowns in March 2020, online radio station Radio Alhara provides a platform for discussion, listening, and community-building. The name, which translates to ‘the neighborhood radio’, is reflective of the nature of the station itself: a close-knit community emerging from the margins, yet open and accessible to the world, bridging boundaries and geographic obstacles.

Initially, the project was meant to stave off quarantine boredom but quickly amassed a cult following when people across the world were confined to their homes. Its experimental programming meant that listeners could tune in to everything from pre-revolution Iranian pop to Afro-funk and Bahraini wedding songs. Talk shows hosted chefs who discussed the making of Palestinian bread, while academics debated the wild boar epidemic in the city of Haifa.
