Every time I play a live set at in Ettalong Beach on the Central Coast, I feel at home. It’s a beautiful garden run by a lovely family business that serves the most creative, heartfelt, and community-driven hotdogs in town.
It’s in special places like this that I reconnect with my roots. One day, I found myself singing my own version of the beautiful song ‘Hijo del Sol Luminoso’ by the incredible Chilean artist Joe Vasconcellos.
Suddenly, the lyrics began to speak to me on a deeper level, and got me singing it with some variations.
“ ‘América’ some call me, because I live in the high mountains (America is the whole continent)
We are brothers and sisters of the African, who came from far away. Who also suffered by my side.
And the ones in power wanted all of us in slavery…
We resisted. We keep resisting.
And now we are millions…”
See you this Sunday 10th May!
Mother’s Day. Mother land. Mother.
