      They describe the story behind this song in episode "Ibeyi - Deathless" of the podcast "Songexploder". They also break down the song musically. It's definitely worth a listen.

      These girls are COMMUNISTS. In Cuba we are taught to hate the “Yankees”, hate the USA & hate Capitalism. Their father was a musician during the USSR era of Cuba & was always traveling out of Cuba when it was ILLEGAL for average Cubans to do so. They praise Che & Fidel openly & preach Communism during their interviews WHILE earning Capitalist foreign dollars. Those dictators (Fidel murdered Che over power, every Cubans knows that) are the reason Cuba is a rotting, disgusting, vile, shameful & oppressive country.
      This a video of Che, Fidel & Camilo sentencing black men to a firing squad WITHOUT a trial on NATIONAL CUBAN TELEVISION:
      ua-cam.com/video/ogKBqxnaWhU/v-deo.html
      THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THESE WOMEN LOOK UP TO!
      They should be be ashamed & exiled (like millions of Cubans have been since 1959) because of their Anti-American agenda. Don’t support these ladies, you Yankees! They HATE you & always will just like their "role models" have taught them to.

      Finally, who can support the Americans? How many countries have they invaded and overthrown democratically elected governments so their corporations can take the land and resources for free? You'll have trouble naming a single one. All in the name of so-called democracy. Democracy at the end of US guns.

    This song I’ve listened over and over. Thinking about how resilient we are and how this body is not final has helped me so much. Being traumatized as a child I always hear children’s cries or I can see them and know without knowing and I have become so frozen as I have no way to do anything sometimes because I can’t heal their scars BUT what has helped me is knowing that as they grow they can choose snd also if I can teach/help them know who they are then nothing can hold them. Even in death they are free and alive

    • @kingchris312
      @kingchris312 7 років тому +12

      Jamise Denari I agree with you but the story seem to invoke the story of Shango Ọba kò so. Letting us know the king does not hang and to me that applies to all people being oppressed especially to our melanated people we must stand tall and walk in the power and authority of our ancestors and stop letting opressors hang us by keeping us down and holding us back from our destiny .

    • @jamisedenari2449
      @jamisedenari2449 7 років тому +28

      Royal Olokun I was writing Deathless as an anthem for everybody!" Lisa-Kaindé writes in a press release. "For every minority. For everybody that feels that they are nothing, that feels small, that feels not cared about and I want them to listen to our song and for three minutes feel large, powerful, deathless. I have a huge amount of respect for people who fought for, what I think, are my rights today and if we all sing together 'We are deathless,' they will be living through us into a better world."
