They took her life thinking that they could silence her. Instead her voice grew louder as more people
spoke up. We are adding our voices to those voices and the ones that come after us. Thank you Bertha Zúñiga Cáceres, Berta’s daughter, for inspiring me to be more active.   Thank you JFDR, Sandrayati Fay & Josh Wilkinson for the song. Thank you all those who sent in their voices to be part of the social media choir on the song. Thank you Ólafur Arnalds, Masterkey Studios & Markéta Irglová for the help and studios.

Song for Berta (Live at the Cabin) – VIDEO OUT NOW

Click HERE to watch.

In honour of Berta Cáceres’s 50th birthday, Jófríður Ákadóttir (JFDR), Sandrayati Fay and Damien Rice wrote a song inspired by Berta’s life and work. 

Berta was a Honduran environmental activist and indigenous leader who was murdered in 2016. 

The injustice of her death feels like it became an emblem of strength for community to gather with unwavering defence in support of what she believed

in, with a call for humankind to wake up to the importance of the protection of the environment. 

All proceeds go to Copinh, the organisation founded by Berta in 1993. 

‘Song for Berta EP’ will be released on streaming platforms on the 28th of April, 2021.
