'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.'
