Lalí Touplí and Perperúna Ensemble "Lilith" by Nena Venetsanou #MashaAmini #womanlifefreedom

The last ten days of September 2022 found us in Crete, Greece amid project preparations with our friends from vocal ensemble Lalί Τouplί. The unjust death of #MashaAmini was every day on our minds, in our discussions. She was arrested because her scarf was not sitting right on her hair. She was maltreated because her scarf was not sitting right on her hair. She was killed because her scarf was not sitting right on her hair. Protests in Tehran and in the world were multiplying, many arrests, police brutality, more deaths. One of those dark days in September, when the sun set, we joined what we felt was most our own our voices - and sang for her and for the women of Iran, for the women who struggle to live free, for the women who struggle in solidarity. #womanlifefreedom #womensrights #zanzendegiazadi Lilith - Nena Venetsanou (1984) Album: To kouti tis Pandoras Lyrics/Music: Nena Venetsanou (…) "We live miserable, short lives Who will break our spell In our homes we live in silence Who will conquer fear Flower, night-flower My sweet dark-haired nightingale You’re flapping away your pain with your wings On the dark threshing floor And I feel the shivers The winged scar I don’t give it a name Lilith, you pitch darkness We live miserable, short lives Who will break our spell In our homes we live in silence Who will conquer fear" sung by Lalí Touplí and Perperúna Ensemble at Episkopi, Crete as a message of solidarity to the WomanLifeFreedom movement. #MashaAmini #womanlifefreedom #womensrights #zanzendegiazadi Perperúna:   / perperuna.ensemble   Lalí Touplí:   / lalitoupli   © Video and sound: Nikolas Leventakis, Stergios Zisis Anastasiadis Edit: Chrysanthi Goula, Dimitra Kandia
