WATCH VIDEO | VISIT A RIVER BLUE
In 2006, Barefoot Workshops invited Joseph Arthur to a one-week arts festival and record his song "A River Blue" with 100 youth in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camps in Northern Uganda.""A River Blue" is a song I recorded with over one hundred orphans of the LRA nightmare in Northern Uganda," writes Arthur upon his return. "I wrote the song before I went to Uganda. And there I felt a little embarrassed about singing this with them as I could never understand the depth of their plight. During my visit there I was more interested in their own songs and paintings and I was more inspired to take photos of their incredible beauty. However upon coming home and mixing this whole event together, the song and our collaboration has gained power for me and strikes me now as a landmark blow against poverty and ambivilence of their golden expression." A video of this song was recently released and can be seen here!
