The story begins years ago in Granada, in an evening of music and poetry where the artists met. We spoke about home, we shared songs and vowed to make music with purpose. It is in these dire times, through the call for Songs for Soc Change, that we saw our mission clearly. We took a composition by Mario in Spanish, translated it and fused it with a poem by renown Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. The song is about spiritual liberation through singing, and it is elevated with the voices of two Palestinian women, the talented Rawan and Aicha.
This song is about the climate disaster. How mankind has lost its way in navigating existence, and how it destroys everything around with its anthropocentric ego and power roles. The entire environment is sustenance and symbiosis: the forests, the rivers... but nevertheless the human being destroys them in its path. This song raises a glimmer of hope. It shows a reality in which, despite we lost everything, there's still that boat on which to chart a new course and return to the very roots.
Lo Sivano is a remix of a traditional Kurdish folk song. The song was played by musicians from Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan), Bakur (Turkish Kurdistan), and Golan Heights (Israeli-occupied Syria). Sivan is a common male name in Kurdish that means shepherd, but also has the more subtle meaning of protector of the community. The song is an ode to the young generation of Kurds who have been forced to become fighters and protectors in the ongoing conflict that has become their normal day-to-day life.
Big Bang is a song that addresses the conflict of human existence through 4 great milestones, Creation, Human Intelligence, War and Time, through 4 onomatopoeias: BIG-BANG, BOM BOM, BUM BUM and TIC TAC. The participation of the invited musicians brings that transcendental mystique of Kurdish and Syrian expression, which goes back to the origins of human civilization. This pulse marked by war and exile is complemented by the Chilean author song, always supplied with the unavoidable Latin American poetry.
