'It is ok to go back and get what you gave forgotten

—-

'In the colonial Caribbean, plantations harvest a salty, succulent kind of gold

'A grieving young girl barely surviving a world that leeches her very soul

'A call from the gods whispers something old and bold

'But tethered minds struggle to crack long-held holds

'Is her remembering enough?

'What does it really take to become revolution-kind of tough?

'Written by Amarantha Robinson (Oshun, La Mama), this lyrical ensemble experience fuses Afro-Caribbean mysticism and history with dance and drumming, to give a transmission of awakening and power.'
