A Celtic song written by French folk star Gilles Servat has been given an African makeover to benefit two worthy charities. “Le Pays” (This Land), written by Servat and Irish musical wizard Donal Lunny, speaks of the loneliness and isolation of migrant workers.
French interpreter and musician Phil Muriel translated the song into English, relating it to the heart wrenching experiences of asylum seekers who have fled persecution and torture only to face destitution and endless waiting for others to decide on their future in this country. Now Phil has recorded the song with the help of African drummers, giving it a completely different style and aiming to benefit two charities through record sales.
Phil declares: “I have the greatest admiration for the counsellors and volunteers from “The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture” and “Justice First” who give of themselves, open their hearts and often, their homes, to help torture victims and asylum seekers; I want to do something to support their work”. Gilles Servat kindly gave his permission to translate his song, stating “I would like to express my admiration for the help you give to uprooted individuals who, unlike us, do not have the opportunity to return home. To buy the CD, please send cheque (£2.00 + 70pence postage) to:
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
