Listen "Ground Zero"
Episode Synopsis
We Will Remember is the English version of the Haitian Creole phrase N a Sonje which we use to name our Foundation, the N a Sonje Foundation.
Our first or Ground Zero episode is where we weave our own band's music, 2 Roots and music I recorded in Haiti over the years adding some of Ron's special fingerpicking audio together with the voices of co-hosts Carla and Ron (that's us), currently refugees in the US along with audio in Haiti from our Haitian colleagues, co-founders of N a Sonje Vèt, Rocky (see them in this video) and Najee.
The music in the intro is from our band, 2 Roots', album with the UN award winning song "Women, I'm Defending Women" as the title song which you can see our music video here and about our album 2 Roots album.
Here's the English translation of the theme song, "N a Sonje"
We will remember, and not forget what happened
Let’s take a look back Into the world gone by and we’ll see
How our ancestors were in Africa before they carried us away to America
Ref: Sing for Africa, Sing for America Honor for Africa, Honor for America
Who lost so many in the years long ago it wasn’t the natives of this land that did that to them
It was another nation who had as their mission to make others slaves, making so many cadavers
Pillaging, killing - Indians and Africans in making them work for nothing
This is how their countries became powerful by spilling so much blood.
