Music News - NZ Musicians band together for Rainbow Warrior Tribute
23 May 2005 - 0 Comments
July 10, 2005 marks the twentieth anniversary of the bombing of Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior in Auckland and in recognition a remarkable recording of The Muttonbirds’ ‘Anchor Me’ will be released on July the 4th, with proceeds to Greenpeace.
The unprecedented recording features vocals from Goldenhorse’s Kirsten Morelle, Che Fu, Anika Moa, Pluto’s Milan Borich, Adeaze, Hinewehi Mohi and Nesian Mystik’s David Atai & Donald McNulty.
‘Anchor Me’ composer Don McGlashan said “when Greenpeace asked to use ‘Anchor Me’ to mark twenty years since the Rainbow Warrior’s sinking, I was glad to help. Our country’s response to the bombing was brave and steadfast – and it succeeded on many levels. We still lead the world’s resistance to nuclear weapons, and that’s something to be very proud of.”
All artists and musicians, in fact everyone involved, donated their time for free. “We’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of support we have received” said Greenpeace Campaign Manager Cindy Baxter.
“An impressive team of people have come together to donate their time, resources and expertise not only to commemorate the tragic events of July 10, but also to celebrate New Zealand being nuclear free and to look ahead to the work which still has to be done on environmental issues” says Cindy.
A Greenpeace concert will also take place July 10 in Auckland, details of which will be announced shortly.
‘Anchor Me’, the Rainbow Warrior commemoration will be serviced to radio nationwide on June 6. A video for the song is in production and will be available from June 20.
