Until Babylon Falls [DEMO]

Rebelsounds and Latino resiste present EZLN: 20 Years.

For many of you, the Zapatista is just a part of the iconography that has been going around from actually mid 90’s and slowly got into a more fashionist way of being rebellious. 
For many of those who were in the actual jungle, 20 years ago, it was their time to face the biggest enemy any indigenous group can handle:  Their own government.
It is amazing how just few hundred of campesinos (farmers) who are direct descendants of the Indigenous tribes that once populated the whole American continent achieved to get a highlight in their struggles in a pre-social media era,  putting in evidence the corruption and mischievous way of governments to treat their  aboriginal communities.

The Zapatista represented not only the Mexicans; they represented the whole continent’s struggles.
20 years ago, the whole planet moved even for a slip of a second to that jungle, and the gov, didn’t have any other choice that listen to their demands, because they knew everyone was paying attention.
Back in those days ; many artists decided to paint a musical landscape in support of that community.
Jungle, Mestizo, Cumbia, and Rock-grunge were killing it. 

So the first musical compilations that supported EZLN, came from that direction, bands like Rage against the Machine, Mano Negra, Asian Dub Foundation, Fermin Muguruza, Sergent Garcia, and many more decided to add their music and got inspired by their fight.










Fast forward to 2014. 
The campesinos struggles are exactly in the same spot. 
Although many things changed, and let’s be fair; In many ways, there had been a slight improvement; In reality; 20 years after, the power pyramid remains intact.
New struggles came in these 2 decades, from cultural appropriation to Land given to the corporations for mining purposes, to the actual selective killing of Indigenous political members; these communities keep facing five centuries of oppression.
We also now have learned we are not going to win, or change anything drastically in the political landscape of these countries.
But we bet all of our efforts to let the system know, that we will do anything in our power to reverse these situations.
There have been many small changes all separated, that when you add them up, they create a whole context for the Indigenous communities and empower them.
From the Bolivian refusal of using genetic modified seeds, and kicking out McDonalds, to the name drop of a local sport team in Canada in where a disrespectful name and mascot made very uncomfortable aboriginals and their families; to the actual legal fights in Brazil for the Amazon territories passing thru Colombian or Chilean strikes, this Zapatista fight represent everyone! Not just the Mexican, but the whole continent.

And we needed to be consequent with today’s musical landscape, but we still need to keep a tight relation with the initial movement and their supporters since day one.
That is why we are extremely happy to announce for the first time ever, we can get together pioneers and current legends, as well as a whole bunch of big names, and obviously in Latino Resiste style unveiling unknown producers, but equally talented. Because this is not about names, this is about the fight, the struggles; it is about connecting young people, of this moment of history, with this particular issue.





The compilation starts with a joint collaboration between the subversive collective Indigenous Resistance & the UK pioneers Asian dub foundation dropping their super killer track, Esta tierra no esta a la venta ( This land is not for sale).

Then we strike with A Tribe Called Red joining Mexican producer Javier Estrada, for a fast-paced super crazy track called Indigenous Power, in where Pow Wow meets Tropical Bass.

Next in line, Mano Negra's original keyboardist and P18 mastermind, send us a new great moombah-version of Sr Matanza, called Matanza in Barranquilla that is a Latin Banger!

Being an “all star” project from pretty much every big underground band of Colombia supporting the Campesino Strike, Papa con Yuca is the perfect track to show Indigenous support meets Musical richness.

Less known, but equally talented, Chilean Mr Toe, spent a great amount of time in the actual Jungle, learning from Aboriginal tribes, and living with them before going back to civilization and start mixing those experiences with music.

Rebelsounds founder members David raga submitted that Jose De Molina badass track that represent perfectly his knowledge about the actual Zapatistas, and the original EZLN members musical taste, as well as the most radical side of the political spectrum.
Also Rebelsounds member, and always conspirator Caballo drops his Latin tune Amolao ( struggled) 

The whole Booklet is AMAZING, art was made by Rebelsounds’ art director Punker, and the actual EZLN political support is given from Rebelsounds’ very own Hannibal whose mestiroots are having the official blessing from EZLN sympathizers.

FREE.  We know.. from a credible source, Mexican and actually few South American govs will try to take this one down, as it distorts the reality they want to sell it thru the media.
REBELSOUNDS & Latino Resiste!  Aguante la lucha Indigena!

KONA
Last night Kona and I went to Masters,
Two reindeer's, noses red like peppers.
I listen to the hungover croak's and rattle of the sandals
with the sounds of the foul, story lines and bumpers. 
From the Bezdan, Bodrog, Ljubljana and Soca
From Medika to Masters, the thoughts are multiplying.
Mujo is horseshoeing the horses, the full moon is calling.
Pictures are melting like an ice-cream cone from Somboled

And there is no more Somboled, it was bought by Dukat.
There is no compromise while I'm swallowed by the fog.
There is no nonsense while I am bathed by the sun.
And there's no more here or there, I just chill and go with the flow
I am the child of the woods, a pirate and a buccaneer. 
When you fall, you get up and never give up. 
Year after year I wrinkle my soul, 
smudge-faced like a hussar, I'm riding towards the Sun. 

Kona, is not touching the Earth. Oh yes, while the Sun is glimpsing
Fed up by the lies, the truth I´m caressing
Little dancing shoes know all my roads 
Kona, is not touching the Earth. Oh yes, while the Sun is glimpsing
Blinded up by the lies, the truth im caressing
and little dancing shoes know all...
 
From Medika to Masters from Masters and back.
From Medika to Masters, from Masters and back.
Tram number 12 and windows with hazy glass.
Th Zoo is awaking, and Vlaska street is wiggling.
Good morning Dubrava and the working class, controllers with velvet voices.
Forestry professors and professoresses don't get tired, there must be fight.
Everybody is gazing into the windows on display, the dogs are gazing into the posters from hell.
They're pulling their horns back into the collars out of fear. 
And exchange offices are buying out gold and silver. 
Behind The Kras sleepy cops are yawning.
Maksimir is waking up, teeth are numbing from the cold.
Dubravica is opening and Mima loves bakeries. 
Around the bicycle, apocalypses.

Kona, is not touching the Earth. Oh yes, while the Sun is glimpsing
Fed up by the lies, the truth I´m caressing
Little dancing shoes know all my roads 
Kona, is not touching the Earth. Oh yes, while the Sun is glimpsing
Blinded up by the lies, the truth im caressing
and little dancing shoes know all...

Smartphones, shivering hands are typing,
While eating pastry and writing their location.
Controllers are throwing out young hooligans who are burning the flyers for an interest free loans.
Bamboo tears are soaking the men in the city,
while the city women are hustling through the crazy baldheads.
In my notesbook i write the words, and all the notes in my song book.
Im walking the tentacled legs, Pipo Solo I love you... 

From Medika to Masters from Masters and back.
From Medika to Masters, from Masters and back.
Tram number 12 and windows with hazy glass.
Tram number 12 and impenetrable fog.
