TRY / Tratar de Transformar

The new single from Shara Nova, Gaby Moreno, and Cantus Domus is out now via 37d03d Records.

This song is a response to families separated from each other and being held in detention centers at the US border. The visual accompaniment, a sketch-based animation by artist Tim Fite, heightens the emotional impact of the piece. The illustrations of families grappling with an overbearing police state present a chilling and accessible message of strength in a community amid societal terrors. 

All proceeds will benefit KIND (Kids In Need of Defense), a non-profit that protects the rights of immigrant children in the US.
KIND's mission is to:

• ensure no child appears in immigration court without high quality legal representation

• advance laws, policies, and practices that ensure children's protection and uphold their right to due process and fundamental fairness

• promote in countries of origin, transit, and destination durable solutions to child migration that are grounded in the best interests of the child and ensure that no child is forced to involuntarily migrate.

Limited signed, printed copies of Tratar de Transformar are available from Just a Theory Press, an independent music publisher focused on sustainability and charitable giving.
