about

"You can not separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom." -Malcolm X-

THEKOIWAY, led by the Chilean music producer Víctor Vildósola, based in Brooklyn, New York, launches its first single "Libertad" in collaboration with award-winning Chilean Evelyn Cornejo and Mateo Alan, Ecuadorian Singer/MC based in Long Island, NY. Freedom will be available from June 5, 2019 (Earth Day), with this single "LIBERTAD", THEKOIWAY kicks off his road map of collaborations with different international artists and musicians.

Víctor a.k.a KØI, has researched different rhythms and artistic/musical tendencies in different coordinates of the globe and has been a member of different relevant Chilean and international solo artists and bands. As a consequence of all this artistic path, he decided to create the "THEKOIWAY", which he describes as "A sonorous-artistic, exploratory and cultural project"; and that comes alive with his first single called "FREEDOM".

Freedom, it is given to the public to be an anthem, to reinforce the right to be alive, to recover its integrity and freedom as a person, it is a call to "non-discrimination", to equality, to freedom of speech, of conscience and of thought, it is a profound invitation to connect with the origin, from respect and solidarity.

lyrics

Invadieron la selva, las serpientes del norte
Corrompieron nuestros hombres para quitarnos los lotes
Nos vendieron ilusiones a base de religiones
Pero las ratas en disfraz se reconocen
Planto bandera, por el pueblo Mapuche
Desde la cordillera yo canto pa’ que en los barrios se escuche
Los barrios pobres, que han sido abandonados
Por tener la piel mestiza recursos nunca han llegado
Son la sangre derramada, de mis antepasados
Mi espíritu grita justicia y mis ancestros masacrados
Vivo en la lucha, con cadenas sociales
La misma familia millonaria influye en leyes nacionales

Basta ya, todavía se siente el peso de mil cadenas
Mi gente solo quiere libertad
Mañana, el sol brillará desde la cordillera
Como guerrera me levanto para un día más

Libertad pa’l pueblo
Para mi gente digna
Un camino verdadero
Yo voy marchando con hambre de justicia

Libertad pa’l pueblo
Para mi gente linda
Por el camino verdadero voy
Marchando con hambre de justicia
Libertad pa’l pueblo.....

Del pueblo noble yo soy
De los altiplanos los pueblos cercanos al sol
La mujer Aymara que a la tierra ama, la cuna del agricultor
Del pueblo noble yo soy
De los altiplanos los pueblos cercanos al sol
Voy sembrando semillas de amor
Pa' cosechar un futuro mejor

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

They invaded the jungle, the serpents of the north
They corrupted our men to take away our lots
They sold us illusions based on religions
But the rats in disguise recognize themselves
Planto bandera, by the Mapuche people
From the mountain range I sing for the neighborhoods to be heard
The poor neighborhoods, which have been abandoned
Having the mestizo skin resources have never come
They are the blood shed, of my ancestors
My spirit screams justice for my massacred ancestors
I live in the struggle, with social chains
The same millionaire families influences national laws

Enough already, we still feel the weight of a thousand chains
My people just want freedom
Tomorrow, the sun will shine from the mountains
As a warrior I get up for one more day

Freedom for the people
For my worthy people
A true path
I'm marching hungry for justice

Freedom for the people
For my beautiful people
For the true path I'm going
Marching with hunger for justice
