Flying Nomads, the Bulgarian Neofolk duo, released “Redwall” recently. With their extensive repertoire and recognition as skilled musicians and storytellers, it comes as no surprise that they have already performed at prestigious events such as Exit Festival and Cosmopolis Festival. Furthermore, their talent has been acknowledged by being selected as a MOST-Balkan Music Export artist and a Music Accelerator act, solidifying their place in the eastern European world music scene.
“Redwall” stands as a resolute testament to the destructive consequences of unyielding human greed. This poignant composition and its accompanying music video delve into the urgent issue of an impending threat caused by an illicit investment scheme that has been sanctioned by the local authorities. The proposed project involves the establishment of a quarry in the vicinity of Flying Nomads’ humble village, nestled within the Natura 2000 area and the buffer zone of the UNESCO-listed “Red Wall” Biosphere Park. With an unwavering gaze, Flying Nomads portray the profound ramifications this encroachment would have on the surrounding environment and the countless lives intertwined with it.
The music video accompanying “Redwall” serves to magnify the song’s crucial message. Painstakingly crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it immerses viewers in an everlasting struggle between forces of righteousness and malevolence. Through captivating visuals, stirring melodies, and engaging narrative, Flying Nomads deftly paint a vivid tableau depicting the dire repercussions of human materialism. Implicitly, they implore viewers to join their cause by signing a petition aimed at halting the construction of the ill-fated quarry.
