PRAYER SONG
“Robby lays down penetrating songs, drawn from the imagery of his people, for celebrations and cautionary tomes.”
ABOUT
PRAYER SONG is a song and music picture from the VH1 World Alert film, MAKOCE WAKAN/SACRED EARTH. Written by Robby Romero and Bob Neuwirth, PRAYER SONG is a poem of peace for the freedom of Leonard Peltier, oppressed peoples, and political prisoners everywhere.
Performed by Robby Romero, HEARTBEAT went into rotation on MTV Networks in 1993. HEARTBEAT was recorded, mixed, and mastered at the Complex Studios in Los Angeles. The Red Thunder lineup includes musicians Benito Concha, Mazatl Galindo, Charles Gasper, and Paul Martinez, with special appearances by Curtis Milk and Richard Moves Camp (Lakota Spiritual Leader). The music picture is produced and directed by Robby Romero and Gregory Alosio.
MAKOCE WAKAN/SACRED EARTH premiered on VH1 in 1993 with a call to action to support Native Peoples Religious Freedom and Sacred Sites. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 became public law No: 103-141. In 1994 the American Indian Religious Freedom Act Amendments became Public Law 103-344, providing legislative protection for spiritual and religious practices of the Native American Church.
The single and the music picture are available on our Village Market. 100% of profits support the work of Native Children’s Survival.
“Makoce Wakan is unlike most commercially available releases today. This album consists of 11 delicately crafted mini operas, resulting in an intense spiritual collection. This disc screams out originality and inspiration with thought provoking songs such as ‘Medicine Woman,’ ’Heartbeat,’ and ‘Prayer Song.’”
“Robby, your Prayer Song for Leonard speaks for us all, and your benefit concert for “The Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee” (LPDOC) was good medicine. Also, kudos for your trips to the Arctic to protest BP’s oil drilling.”
