FOREIGNERS EVERYWHERE (BANDIERA NERA) - FOREIGNERS EVERYWHERE MEETS JAH FREE

"Foreigners Everywhere" is a new mix from Jah Free for "Bandiera Nera" from 2018, the debut of collective F.E. for which Jeff wrote powerful lyrics. Co-producer and bass guitar on the original song is Marko Grbac.

The single "Foreigners Everywhere (Bandiera Nera)" which features guest artist Jah Free, offers a powerful and universal message through the combination of an infectious reggae beat and dub vocals. The lyrics of the song, written by Jah Free, deal with the theme of unity, solidarity and common human destiny, emphasizing how connected all people are regardless of cultural, ethnic and geographical differences. The chorus, which begins with "Quindici uomini sulla cassa del morto" (Fifteen men on the coffin), is a classic reference to the famous pirate song, and the addition of "e una bottiglia di rum" gives the song an additional atmosphere of sea adventures and life's uncertainties. This metaphor seems to emphasize the fragility of human existence, but also the idea of ​​togetherness in facing challenges. The pirate anthem cleverly intertwines with the song's theme, adding a sense of adventure and uncertainty, but also evoking brotherhood and fighting enemies — in this case, alienation and division between people. The central theme of the song is highlighted through lyrics such as "That's my brother, that's my blood down there" and "We are each other, that's our blood down there", which evoke a sense of common humanity. Jah Free invites listeners to think about how differences in food, clothing and customs are only superficial, while basic human needs and feelings are universal. The lyrics "I need to hold another's hand as we travel through the land" and "We are love and we all care" carry a clear message about love, empathy and the importance of connecting with others. Melodically, the song combines a deep, pulsating bass line typical of reggae and dub music, with a strong rhythmic groove, creating a dynamic soundtrack that encourages movement and thought. Jah Free's vocals are calm yet powerful, conveying the weight of the message through a light but determined delivery. What makes this song special is its way of connecting simple, everyday needs and desires with a universal message of love and unity. "Foreigners Everywhere" is not only a call for mutual understanding, but also an encouragement for people to recognize themselves as part of a wider, global society. In a time when the themes of migration, identity and community are ubiquitous, this song comes as a reminder that all people are connected and that we are all strangers somewhere - but still, the blood of the same brotherhood. In conclusion, the single "Foreigners Everywhere" is both melodic and deeply meaningful, a song that mixes cultural and social themes with a simple message of togetherness. Jah Free and Foreigners Everywhere managed to create a song that invites thought, but also the listener's unification through rhythm and words.
