We are a Crowd --------------------- Am I the only one thinking? Some of the are livin big but the most living small now. Am I the only one thinking? Equal education will make children grow Am I the only one thinking? Pollution stifles the Earth, we are not alone in this world. ´Cause... We are a Crowd, old, children & young. yes we are a crowd, we are going to sing it really, really loud. Yes we are a Crowd, there´s no humilliation, we feel proud. This is what we are, a crowd standing for them rights, a Crowd using words to fight, use the words to fight. Am I the only one singing? World leaders are cheating and lying, over peoples hope Am I the only one singing? Music is the weapon, we gonna make them know. ´Cause...We are a Crowd, old, children & young. yes we are a crowd, we are going to sing it really, really loud. Yes we are a Crowd, there´s no humilliation, we feel proud. This is what we are, a crowd standing for them rights, a Crowd using words to fight, use the words to fight. We are a crowd, qe gonna spread the word together. We are a crowd, with no violence, we stay clever. We are a crowd, we´ll stay united ´gainst them, so listen my friend. We are a crowd, we gonna change this situation. Put an end, to the police intervention, a crowd using words to fight, use the words to fight, use your words to fly, use your words to fight...

about

Yes, we are a crowd.

It seems it was yesterday, but it has been more than 12 years since that epic text* that shook european disobedience movement was written, short before Geneva Summit

"They say that they are new, they christen themselves by acronyms: G8, IMF, WB, WTO, NAFTA, FTAA… They cannot fool us, they are the same as those who have come before them: (...) the old world that

stopped our assaults and destroyed all stairways to heaven.

Nowadays they have a new empire, they impose new servitudes on the whole globe, they still play the lords and masters of the land and the sea. Once again, we the multitudes rise up against them."

Yes, we are a crowd. Javier Ochoa has his mind clear and his rethorical questions quickly finds the answer in this track, full of consciousness, pride and (re)assertion

Yes, we are a crowd. We are no longer doubtful. That is what we are: little, young and old, fighting for our rights, armed with our words and bodies.

And our music: derlivered once again by Bass CUlture Players, this time under the Back-A-Yard label. This deep and solid riddm seems tailor-made for the message and vocals of Javier Ochoa.

Puppashan complets the work with a penetrating dub splattered with sparks.

And judging by its latest releases, anyone could think that Discoinferno holds on to our time's pulse. Our time, where doubts, fears and questions transform into affirmation:

Yes, we are a crowd.
