Bread & Butterflies by Slovo
…war, climate catastrophe, 1970's feminist sci-fi, revolution and the lockdown…
Featuring US hip-hop innovator Mike Ladd, Italian singer Barbarella, former Faithless guitarist Dave Randall, Idris Rahman (saxophones), Robin Hopcraft (trumpet) and others…
Slovo is a South London based collective founded by former Faithless guitarist Dave Randall. He has contributed to Grammy award winning albums by Dido, and worked with Sinead O’Connor, Emiliana Torrini and many others. He is also the author of the book Sound System: The Political Power of Music (Pluto Press 2017).
In the summer of 2019 he met a kindred spirit, the Italian singer Barbarella (Barbara Pugliese, of Barbarella’s Bang Bang) at a pub in Brixton. They decided it was time to make new music for a troubled world.
