Much appreciated community, we have reached week 135 of our international live music event. This time the theme selected by our recent Spotlights Artists the band @indonesiabersatu is "Fight Oppression", a controversial theme, and, Unfortunately, always valid. I chose to participate with the song "Credo Nicaragüense", ("Nicaraguan Creed"), which was sung clandestinely in Nicaragua during the Anastasio Somoza dictatorship. It was composed (lyrics and music) by Carlos Mejía Godoy and is part of the "Nicaraguan Peasant Mass". Its lyrics are a denunciation where even ecological crimes are reflected ("and the forests mutilated by the criminal ax") and in which a God who is very close and sympathetic to the struggle of the oppressed is reflected ("You are resurrecting
in each arm that rises
to defend the people
of the exploitative domain. ") A controversial song about a controversial topic as well. I hope you like it.
