Wish Wadada : Straight out of Cape Verde island, Nish is well known in the reggae & sound system scene as a writer & performer. She has made a name for herself singing with a strong lyrical message for the the King Shiloh & Blackboard Jungle labels.

Boney L : The original Vibronics vocalist from 1997, Bony L’s recordings are highly sought after Dub gems, most notably , the Jah Shaka anthem ‘Jah Light Jah Love’. The illusive singer was coaxed back in the study for the 1st time in over 10 years to record for this extra special project.

Vanya O : Half of Zagreb heavy-dubbers Dubble, Vanya started out in the now legendary and first ever Croatia live dub outfit Radikal Dub Kolektiv. Here, her amazing melodica playing skills are highlighted alongside her sublime voice.

Trilla Jenna : Founder of the all-female Gold Label Sound System in 1989, Trilla Jenna stormed the recording world in the 1990s when she hooked up with Mad Professor for a series of classic Ariwa releases. Now firmly back on the scene, her deep & militant style is a must for this album.

Sis I-Leen ; Geneva based I-Leen came to prominence with her live & studio work for fellow locals OBF Sound System. She has since gone on to work with Massai Warrior, Dub Conductor & Ashant Selah. Her unique style mixes influences from R&B with Reggae & Dub.

Saraléne ; From Berlin, Saraléne has established herself as one of the cities leading live & studio reggae vocalists. As well as a string of releases for Vibronics, Saraléne has worked with fellow Berliners Ganjaman & Longfingah and a hots of top Sound Systems.

Nanci Correia ; Lisbon born, London raised, Nanci Correia is best known for being half of the duo Nanci & Phoebe, part of the extended  Congo Natty family. Her passionate & soulful voice clearly communicates her obsession with music with lyrics full of emotion.

Acclaimed Prague based Visual artist Jana Anna has created a hand-made vinyl cut porter of each vocalist. A series of special art cards will be available alongside the vinyl album release in April.

We have come to be danced
not the pretty dance
not the pretty pretty, pick me, pick me dance
but the claw our way back into the belly
of the sacred, sensual animal dance
the unhinged, unplugged, cat is out of its box dance
the holding the precious moment in the palms
of our hands and feet dance

We have come to be danced
not the jiffy booby, shake your booty for him dance
but the wring the sadness from our skin dance
the blow the chip off our shoulder dance
the slap the apology from our posture dance

We have come to be danced
not the monkey see, monkey do dance
one, two dance like you
one two three, dance like me dance
but the grave robber, tomb stalker
tearing scabs & scars open dance
the rub the rhythm raw against our souls dance

We have come to be danced
not the nice invisible, self conscious shuffle
but the matted hair flying, voodoo mama
shaman shakin’ ancient bones dance
the strip us from our casings, return our wings
sharpen our claws & tongues dance
the shed dead cells and slip into
the luminous skin of love dance

We have come to be danced
not the hold our breath and wallow in the shallow end of the floor dance
but the meeting of the trinity: the body, breath & beat dance
the shout hallelujah from the top of our thighs dance
the mother may I?
yes you may take 10 giant leaps dance
the Olly Olly Oxen Free Free Free dance
the everyone can come to our heaven dance

We have come to be danced
where the kingdom’s collide
in the cathedral of flesh
to burn back into the light
to unravel, to play, to fly, to pray
to root in skin sanctuary
We have come to be danced
WE HAVE COME
