A  song acknowledging one of the first massacre's in the formation of Isreal and the beginning of the destruction of Palestine as an entity. I get frustrated when people switch off from the whole situation justifying that in their heads because of what happened on October 7th. That was obviously terrible but it's the 77 years that need to be addressed to fix it and Israeli culture seems to have a very ingrained poison of denial to themselves what is happening and that in turn gives them a clean conscious very unusually as they ethnically cleanse the Palestinian population. This has been the case right since the forced creation of their state in 1948 it seems and October 7th is the latest big reason to continue that pressure of removing non Jewish people from the area. We all need to be candles for this or nothing is going to change. Only when we are all saying it can this giant bubble within Isreali society and in turn what the extreme powers that be do with that ignorance be burst...  Isreal is the only society that can change this but the will for them to do that may have to be forced upon them by people power because it involves actually changing their psycology and how they see other humans. They project this charade of being a moral compass when the complete opposite is true in the real world...

The example at the heart of this song is Tantura. One of the worst massacres which the Palestinians suffered however despite clear evidence it's complete denial from inside Isreal and all paper trails are very obviously covered up. The Palestinians call these moments Al Nakba (The Catastrophe)... Within Isreali society they do not even acknowledge there was a Nakba at all and it appears to be tabboo to even talk about it. Again the ingrained denial of their own past and the real truth of what happened when they forced the formation of the state. So with this context it's not ok to switch off becuase you hear terrorist/hamas/oct 7th.... The Palestinians have been terrorised by Isreal since day 0... However the Isreali's don't like to talk about those facts....

Massacre for Zion

"Vive Tu Verdad" es una canción que invita a mirar las dificultades como maestras disfrazadas, a soltar lo que ya no encaja y a recordar que la opinión ajena no define tu esencia. Con una melodía que toca el alma y una letra llena de poder personal, es un himno para quienes están listos para vivir con autenticidad. Letra: María Ángela Arce.

Tɔɔ Réo est une chanson traditionnelle Gurunsi en lyélé de Réo au Burkina Faso, chantée pour valoriser la parole des anciens et les rythmes Burkinabè de chez nous à Réo. C’est fait avec balafon, calebasse, tambours — pas de son moderne. Juste la voix d’un vieux père, les réponses du village, et le souffle du marché du 21. C’est la parole qui fait danser.

Tɔɔ Réo yé naaba. Tɔɔ yé zãã. Dɔɔr yé waali. Réo n’ba tɔɔ. Wɛrɛ, dundun, balafon — banga ka banga.

Tɔɔ Réo is a traditional Lyélé song from Réo, Burkina Faso. Sung in Lyélé with balafon, calabash, and hand drums — no modern instruments. Just the voice of an elder, the village's response, and the spirit of the 21 market day. It’s the word that makes us move.

Should Not Take Much - 2025 mix

If U love 'em...set 'em free
yea
fire-blackened to break the hard seed
done with love cause it's what sets 'em free
yea
burning the heart seed
and I've grown ripe in the aftermath
and in the drift I choke...just wishing
and now I see so plainly
the smoke and the pageantry
yea so I slow to the pattern...
see the ones saying words, so incendiary
and I call to the one tree
mama, do U feel me?
mama?
they're gonna kill me, mama?
...and she said " let it be"
for the storm has gathered where mad
hearts have gone to tatters
cause sometimes U gotta shatter dreams
to mak'em be...U see?
If U love 'em...set 'em free
yea
fire-blackened to break the hard seed
done with love cause it's what sets 'em free
yea
burning the heart seed
