about

"Inspired by the Environmental Movement, Boyan Slat & The Ocean Cleanup project, and teenager activist Greta Thunberg, composer Martin Vejarano created “Stop Go.” This new music video, performed by the Cumbia River Band, is an energetic and danceable invitation for environmental action around the world. “It conveys an urgent message and proposes a paradigm shift,” says Martin, “to honor Mother Nature over the comfort and the reckless consumerism displayed by contemporary humans.”
You can’t help singing along with the lyrics of this spirited plea for our planet, with a musical style that draws from a festive repertoire of Colombian Cumbia. Featuring artists on tuba, clarinet, accordion, guitar, Colombian percussion and vocals, this Cumbia in English invites all to dance and take action."

Pam Berns for Green Home NYC

lyrics

STOP - GO!
To the Environmental Movement, Boyan Slat and Greta Thunberg,

“No matter how uncomfortable or unprofitable that may be! This is above all, an emergency! " G.T.

Heard teeanegers in the news today
demanding that we stop our quest
to consume the planet over a dream
destroying all, it’s not our best.

Stop, stop, stop
! Drilling to extract more oil
Go, go, go!
Clean the rivers, waste no more
Stop, stop, stop!
Burning jungles, burning coal
Go, go, go!
Save the water, make no war
Stop, stop, stop!
Throwing garbage all around
Go, go, go!
It’s urgent to protect the world

Let’s save the oceans and keep planting trees.


Saw an image of an Island of trash,
made me think, made me mad
, made me wonder, made me understand,
humanity is bound to crash

Stop, stop, stop! Drilling to extract more oil
Go, go, go!
Clean the rivers, waste no morel
Stop, stop, stop!
Burning jungles, burning coal
Go, go, go!
Save the water, make no war
Stop, stop, stop!
Throwing garbage all around
Go, go, go!
It’s urgent to protect the world
Let’s save the oceans and keep planting trees.


Boyan Slat had a great idea,
to remove plastic from the sea
he envisioned new technology
to conquer a catastrophe

Stop, stop, stop! Drilling to extract more oil
Go, go go!
Clean the rivers, waste no morel
Stop, stop! stop.
Burning jungles, burning coal
Go, go go!
Save the water, make no war
Stop, stop, stop!
Throwing garbage all around
Go, go go!
It’s urgent to protect the world
Let’s save the oceans and keep planting trees.
