The band Danakil invites Mike and Riké, members of the group Sinsemilia, on the track " La Démocratie Balbutie ”.
In the midst of a political crisis, it became essential for these prominent figures of the independent scene to speak up and call for action against the far-right. Currently promoting their upcoming album and new tour, Danakil decided to take a break from their promotional schedule to express themselves in the face of the worst-case scenario. As Mike says in the song: "There are battles that must not be avoided."
Danakil’s statement:
Democracy is stumbling today because we stopped believing in it.
We have been so disappointed.
But in this storm that we are all living through, it seems important to take back control of our future and defend our society, based on values of brotherhood, sharing, and unity.
For years, Mike and Riké from Sinsémilia have shared and expressed the values we defend here. They joined us spontaneously to amplify our call.
On June 30 and July 7, let's meet at the polls to once again say no to racism and the far-right.
There are battles we do not run from.
