We sing without fear
"Τραγουδάμε δίχως Φόβο”, a Greek transposition of Vivir Quintana’s “Canción sin Miedo” by femininities of the Open Orchestra
“Canción sin Miedo” by Vivir Quintana is a landmark song against femicides that are committed daily in Mexico and in Latin America more broadly. The composer, Vivir Quintana, sang and recorded this song in a highly symbolic move, together with mothers from Oaxaca, Mexico, whose daughters were victims of femicide.
Inspired by Vivir Quintana’s powerful lyrics, femininities of the Open Orchestra created a Greek transposition of the song in an effort to stand together and stand up against patriarchy and the violence it reproduces. The song became part of a wider call by the Open Orchestra for a big music performance for International Women’s Day 2022 where the Open Orchestra, along with the Open Feminist Assembly, Mov, Oistrogones, the 8th March Assembly, Meliries, the Network of Women Writers against Gender Violence and Femicides “i foni tis” and many others united their voices in the city center of Athens. At the same time, an open call was made, inviting femininities all around Greece to perform the Greek transposition of “Canción sin Miedo '' and share a video of that performance with us.
This video is the outcome of this initiative which aspires to share the power of this song with as many as it can reach.
For all femininities and everyone who embraced and supported this project.
We stand together as one!
We love the song and sing together with women! Thanks for the post!
