about

Check out our new music video for "Children's Song"

youtu.be/xzW93SScbeE

This video was entirely shot in the Tribe of Tiendanite, in the central mountain chain of Northern Kanaky/New-Caledonia. It’s aim is to put in focus the culture and traditions of the Kanak people, as well as to empower the new generation through pride and knowledge of self. Tribal peoples of the world are facing a great challenge in an ever accelerating world, where the youth are enquiring about identity and still struggle to find a steady place between tradition and modernity. May their cause be heard.

Music Video directed by Marcus Gad

Produced by High Records

Chorus:
Ea ea ea
We a chant to the Mother
Ea ea ea
We a sing Mother Nature

All over the world see the children a chanting
Dem a sing when the trees dem a planting
Ina yard dem a dancing
Outta suffering to the Father dem a walking
Feed water to your seedlings
Chant Mother Earth you are the offspring
Every man a King and every woman a Queen all together we a rise ina chanting

Chorus

Ina morning man a rising
The sun a come a light a likkle fire ‘pon the horizon
Clean water to your system and ripe fruit
To your body fi be feeding all the right food
Earth we are from and thus earth we become
But a first walk on it still a under the sun
Watch where you walk and check way you talk
Flow like a river and solid as a rock
Ea ea ea
Flow like a river and solid as a rock

Chorus

Say we’ve been down in the valley for a very long time now x2
See the seeds man a reapin from the food man a planting
See the love man a giving from the love man receiving
Unto Kanaky we land and culture we say
Ina mountain Ina valley Ina river and plain
Elder spirit is a stone, Ina rock is a soul
All together we a rise ina chanting

Chorus
