EarthCries & Gloriosa’ SBN004 - @marysia_osu @anja.ngozi @ma.moyo Link in the artists bio Lovely to be able to lend a small hand and contribute to this beautiful project so much care has been poured into - Big props to all involved ❤️ See below for words from the artists: ---------- The first track, Earth Cries is out now. It’s a cover of a poem by Jamaican dub poet and storyteller, Jean “Binta” Breeze (11/03/1956 – 04/08/2021) entitled Earth Cries. Breeze wrote this poem about the planet’s state of decline in the year 2000. She was widely acknowledged as the first woman to write and perform dub poetry. This is honoured in the production - it offers a dub heavy influence, dictating the pace and delivery of the text. 🖤 This song was first made in 2019, and its release on this date is to mark the first anniversary of Jean “Binta” Breeze’s passing; to pay homage to an artist who aimed to make a difference and celebrate her life and legacy. This poem still feels very relevant to this day, 22 years later, because we are still witnessing the way Earth cries on our watch. This poem reminds us about our collective duty to this planet and the ways it can either flourish or diminish under our care. 🌍💧 Link in bio to listen/support. Full project dropping soon. Love & thanks to everyone involved ♡︎♡︎♡︎ getting it out has been a true collective effort and means the world to do it with friends ♥️ Words by Jean Binta Breeze Vocals - @ma.moyo Production - @anja.ngozi & Marysia Osu Harp - 🧚 Flute - @juicyflutes Mixing - @sleepy_time_ghost Mastering - @edwestmusic Artwork - @berrymanralph & Marysia Osu SBN004 @sibin.shubz 💙
