The track Migrants strongly denounces the inhuman management by the public authorities of the tragic situation of immigrants. It pays tribute to the boundless courage of these men and women who travel thousands of kilometers to find a land of freedom.
 With the help of the " Rastas du coeur" organization , Joe Pilgrim has contacted the volunteers of organizations working in the camp called "The jungle" in Calais. He went there to meet and carry the voices of these men, women and children in transit in these makeshift camps.
With the collaboration of Juliette Baudot and Ma Kata, they shot a musical video clip in the form of a documentary.
Joe Pilgrim & the Ligerians will redistribute the revenues from download platforms to the «Auberge des Migrants» organization.

💥 Migrants 💥 est le 1er morceau de l'E.P. «   Step Out   », date prévue de sortie en Mars 2018🔥

Migrants dénonce avec force l'inhumanité des pouvoirs politiques européens dans la gestion de la crise migratoire de ces dernières années. Il rend hommage au courage, sans limite, de ces hommes et femmes parcourant des milliers de kilomètres afin de trouver une terre de liberté.

Avec l’aide de l’association “Les Rastas du coeur”, Joe Pilgrim est entré en contact avec les bénévoles d’associations oeuvrant au sein du camp dit “La Jungle” à Calais. Il s’y est rendu afin de rencontrer et porter la voix de ces hommes, femmes et enfants en transit dans ces camps de fortune. 

Avec la collaboration de Juliette Baudot et de Ma Kata, ils ont tourné le clip documentaire de ce titre.

Joe Pilgrim & The Ligerians reverseront toutes les recettes liées aux téléchargements à l’association «L'auberge des migrants».

Migrants

New EP Step out follows the path started with the LP Intuitions with one major change : “Brother Joe” doesn't just describe a society and it's system perverted by the power of money, he is now calling for action. 
The Opening track of the EP “Step Out of this Jungle” is a call to free ourselves of our dehumanising and stressful lives by following a brighter way of life. 
The song can be seen as a users guide : to step out of this jungle, just lift up your head and face reality to move forward. On a dynamic stepper beat, the tempo is a source of courage. The 80's references in the sound can remind us of Pablo Moses in 1981 who invited us to Pave The Way. 
As on Intuitions, The New EP offers us an acoustic meditative Track called “Divine Power”. The song is an ode to the women and also to the ancient civilisations, before christianisation. Joe Pilgrim celebrates these pagan societies who treated women as equal to men.  This song is indissociable to the next one : “Wherever I go” in which Joe denounces the “preachers preaching iniquity, pretending woman is the evil”. On this very Soulful One Drop Riddim, Joe condemns the Judeo-christian, and capitalistic values which glorify the father at the expense of women. 
Joe Pilgrim calls for a universal love. A traditional topic in reggae that we can find in the single “Use your time” . Humanist and apolitical, the message is perfectly orchestrated by the Ligerians who revisit the Rockers style. The Drums and percussions will make you want to move your feet, as the backing vocals give a feeling of fullness. A beautiful way to talk about human rights. 
This cause is also promoted in the song “Migrants.” Sudanese, Eritreans, Afghan, Syrians...Many are those who run away from armed conflicts and risk their lives to reach Europe, thinking maybe they will be welcome...But all they face once there, is barbed wire, police and fences. The reality is brutal, and Joe has witnessed this : in 2016, he went to Calais in the North of France, a few month before the dismantling of what was called “The Jungle”, there he met refugees and lived with them for a few days. The experience was filmed by his friend and filmmaker Julie Beaudot who then made the videoclip for the song with the footage. 
The lesson Joe Drew of this experience is : We are the power. Action and mobilization are within the reach of everybody. 
All the benefits of the downloads are given to an  organisation called “L'auberge des migrants”, which helps refugees by defending their right and by giving them food, shelters and medical help. The song “Migrants” is a powerful tribute to these women, men and children who left everything, hoping for a peaceful life, far from guns and bombs. The melody on the keyboard sounding like an alarm reminds us of the emergency of this migratory crisis. 
The Dub version by Pilah (ex Kaly Live Dub, member of the Dub Addict Sound System) reminds us of the chaotic crossing of the Mediterranean sea and all the souls which drowned there. 
Recorded and mixed and produced by Soulnurse Records, Step out fights against fatalism and helplessness. Musically, we can find a reggae roots close to the foundation, but ever so actual in the message. 
We can immediately recognise the sound of the Ligerians, but in a way this record is more rough, with clear references to the 80's digital era. The recent collaboration of the band with Pilah, which started in 2016 at the Telerama Dub Festival, is once again highlighted. These two different musical styles share the same root. 
Fusion, unite, and put forces together, these are the goals of Joe Pilgrim.
