As always, Damien Rice’s music leaves me feeling warm and melancholic. So so beautiful. Thank you, and thank you for giving the proceeds to Copinh and contributing to Berta’s legacy and memory.
Favorite track: Song for Berta - Unmixed Demo.

This beautiful melancholic song is a tribute to the beauty that Berta represented, the protection of our planet, our sustaining mother.
Favorite track: Song for Berta - Unmixed Demo.
In honour of Berta Cáceres's 50th birthday, Jófríður Ákadóttir (JFDR), Sandrayati Fay and Damien Rice wrote a song inspired by Berta's life and work.
Berta was an Indigenous Lenca land defender, from Honduras, who was murdered 5 years ago. The injustice of her death feels like it became an emblem of strength for community to gather with unwavering defence in support of what she believed in, with a call for humankind to wake up to the importance of the protection of the environment.
All proceeds go to Copinh, the organisation founded by Berta in 1993. copinh.org/en/

This was a stand out song when I had the pleasure of seeing JFDR perform with Ólafur Arnalds in Manchester in 2022. I love discovering new artists, and JFDR was a rare find. cloudbustingdad
