Through the collaboration of musicians, singers, and performers, the project reinterprets one of the most recognised works in Western classical music to address urgent questions of racial justice, inequality, and the struggle for a more inclusive society.
Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding
✨ A powerful reflection on war, work, and the human cost of political decisions. “Shipbuilding” by Robert Wyatt is a haunting anti-war song that questions the idea that conflict can be justified because it creates employment and economic activity. Released in 1982 during the Falklands War, the song explores the painful contradiction of communities depending on the very industries that produce the instruments of war.
Tish Hinojosa - Something in the Rain
✨ A song of environmental injustice, workers’ rights, and the struggle for dignity. “Something in the Rain” by Tish Hinojosa is a powerful reflection on the experiences of migrant farm workers who face the hidden human costs of agricultural production. Through a deeply personal and emotional narrative, the song draws attention to the contamination, health risks, and environmental dangers experienced by those who work to sustain our food systems.
Ximena Sariñana - El Dinero No Es la Vida
✨ A reflection on the limits of wealth and the value of human dignity. “El dinero no es la vida” (“Money Is Not Life”) by Ximena Sariñana and Rubén Blades is a powerful critique of a society that too often measures success through money rather than through human connection, dignity, and wellbeing. The song challenges the idea that wealth alone can provide meaning or happiness, reminding us that life cannot be reduced to economic value.
Bing Crosby - Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?
✨ A voice from the Great Depression, questioning the promise of prosperity and the dignity of work. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” recorded by Bing Crosby in 1931 is one of the most powerful songs to emerge from the economic devastation of the Great Depression. Although Crosby is not usually associated with political protest, this song became an anthem for millions of workers who found themselves abandoned after years of contributing to the growth and prosperity of their societies.
Molotov - Gimme tha Power
✨ A cry against corruption, inequality, and the abuse of political power. “Gimme tha Power” by the Mexican band Molotov is a fierce protest anthem that challenges corruption, political hypocrisy, and the concentration of power in the hands of elites. Released in 1997, the song became one of the defining tracks of Mexican rock, using a mix of Spanish and English (“Spanglish”) to express frustration with governments that fail to represent the people they are meant to serve.
Kaê Guajajara - Essa Rua É Minha”
✨ A pulse of Indigenous resistance, decolonization, and the reclaiming of space. “Essa Rua É Minha” (“This Street Is Mine”) by Kaê Guajajara is a bold declaration of Indigenous presence, identity, and survival. Reclaiming the melody of the well-known Brazilian children's song Se Essa Rua Fosse Minha, Kaê transforms a familiar tune into a powerful political statement about colonialism, land dispossession, and the ongoing struggle of Brazil's Indigenous peoples. The song rejects token recognition and demands real justice, affirming that Indigenous communities are not relics of the past but living peoples whose rights continue to be violated.
Jackson Browne - The Pretender
✨ A pulse of dignity, economic justice, and the search for a meaningful life. “The Pretender” by Jackson Browne is a poignant reflection on the quiet compromises many people make in pursuit of security, success, and survival. Written in the aftermath of personal loss and during a period of economic uncertainty in the United States, the song explores the pressures of work, consumerism, and conformity, asking what happens when people sacrifice their dreams simply to get by. Rather than offering easy answers, Browne invites listeners to reflect on the tension between economic necessity and living with authenticity and purpose.
Gojira - Amazonia
✨ A pulse of environmental justice, Indigenous resistance, and the defense of the living world. “Amazonia” by Gojira is a powerful tribute to the Amazon rainforest and the Indigenous peoples who have protected it for generations. Combining crushing riffs with urgent lyrics, the song denounces deforestation, illegal exploitation, and the destruction of one of the planet's most vital ecosystems. Rather than treating the Amazon as merely a natural resource, “Amazonia” presents it as a living home whose survival is inseparable from the rights and futures of the communities who inhabit it.
