New album by rapper Frank Waln is a strong statement against settler colonialism
‘Tell me why you think the red man is dead
With a fake headdress on your head’
Native American rapper Frank Waln does not spare snowflakes on his new EP The Bridge. He recorded it fresh from a visit to Palestine, “meeting our Palestinian relatives and bearing witness to their struggles under settler colonialism”, as he says.
“This album, like all Indigenous art, holds centuries of Indigenous stories, personal and universal. I made this project for myself and other Indigenous people like me who need honesty, vulnerability and healing in their lives.”
The Bridge contains new songs and reworkings of old songs and an ode to Leonard Cohen’s song ‘Treaties‘. Available here. (PB)
