BRIXTOWN RECORDS. RELEASED 7 SEP 2009
Slovo is the creation of writer,
producer and Faithless guitarist
Dave Randall. The band's first
album Nommo won critical
acclaim for its haunting acoustic
melodies, trip-hop soundscapes,
international voices and political
narratives. Their second album
Todo Cambia came in 2007 with
unique contributions from UK
hiphop MC Bobby Whiskers,
singers Andrea Britton,
Emiliana Torrini and Rhianna
Kelly, writer Arundhati Roy,
Bolivian activist Oscar Olivera,
Palestinian MC Boikutt and US
political prisoner George Jackson
among others. For
Tom Robinson (BBC 6Music)
it was his Album Of The Year.
With a sound rooted in Slovo’s Original version on the album:
native London, the album
continued to explore the
questions presented by the
wider world with an
uncompromising and personal,
honest and contemplative
stance. The album’s title comes
from a phrase Dave first heard
used as a declaration of hope
amongst the poor of Caracas.
The idea that "everything
changes" has fired the
imagination of people across
Latin America who have started www.slovo.co.uk
