Despertar from SUR by SunSeeds

Despertar is a song written by Bass player and Singer Elizabeth Obando, cowritten by SunSeeds in Collaboration with Katherine Gailer (Amaru Tribe), produced by Daniel Jauregui.

With a blend of folktronica, urban, hip hop and Champeta, this upbeat, sometimes dark protest song uses powerful vocals, electronic beats, synths and effects mixed with the acoustic elements of traditional Colombian drums, Venezuelan Cuatro and Andean Charango.


The lyrics and music were written in response to the Chilean, Colombian South American countries human rights violation and abuse of power by the governments after the recent social uprisings happening in these countries, where people had enough of corruption, abuse and unfair living conditions, and went out to the streets to protest and march.

In an effort to stand together with our people, repudiate the abuses and violence implemented by these governments and military forces, and to send a message of hope, union, and strength, we raised our voices through this song.

Melbourne based band of South American Folk with electronic and psychedelic soundscapes.
