Fernanda has many experiences of being a migrant, she was born in Brazil into a family of Spanish, Italian and Japanese lineages. Seventeen years ago she left Brazil and moved to London, and then came to Iceland five years ago.
In the song you hear Fernanda talking on the phone to her mother in Brazil.
A term not easily translatable, the Brazilian expression ’saudade’ describes a sentiment that those living far away from their families might relate to.

Aleksey is a 63-year-old construction worker. With roots in Russia and Ukraine and after having spent most of his life in Latvia, he came to Iceland twelve years ago. “In the evenings, I play the guitar for myself alone at home,” was the headline of an article about him on the homepage of Efling, Iceland’s union for basic and low-income workers.
In the recording, Aleksey recounts the story of one of his favourite Russian love songs, “Лирическая” by Vladimir Vysotsky. The song is about a man entering an enchanted forest to find the woman that he loves, trying to convince her of the modest but beautiful life that would await her with him.

Joshua is a refugee from Nigeria. In the spring of 2019, he was part of an independently organised group of refugees in Iceland that initiated protests against Iceland’s immigration/refugee policies.
The group hoped to be heard by society and the government, demanding a better and more humane treatment of asylum seekers in Iceland, an end to the deportations, equal access to health care, the right to work, the closing of isolated refugee camps, and a substantial review for all applications for asylum.
Like many other refugees from Africa, Joshua reached Europe on a small boat landing on the shores of Italy. There he lived on the streets for several years until he managed to come to Iceland.
Eventually his case got rejected in Iceland and he was deported back to Italy.

Upplýsingar á Bandcamp:
This song reflects on the story of the ‘Vesturfarar’.
Around 1870-1910 almost one quarter of the Icelandic population left their homes and resettled mostly in North America, in search for better living conditions. Back then, life in Iceland was tough, poverty levels were high and many people suffered from hunger. Most of the voice recordings stem from the TV documentary ‘Vestur í bláinn’ (1975) and feature interviews with people who were part of the emigration wave. One of them, Salomé, talks about the journey, whilst Björn points out the difficulties of starting a new life in a faraway country.

Anna is a labour organiser and care worker who moved to Iceland after finishing her master’s degree in Kraków.
Living in Reykjavík, she worked within various occupations as a housekeeper, cleaner, waitress and teacher in an after-school programme.
The recordings in this song are from a phone conversation that Anna had with her friend back in Poland. In addition, we hear excerpts from Anna’s speech during a protest march at the general strike in Reykjavík in the spring of 2019. She held her speech both in English and Polish, advocating for low-income workers and the migrant workforce. People of Polish origin constitute 5% of Iceland’s population and are the largest immigrant group.

Amir is a refugee from Afghanistan. Five years ago, he made his way to Europe alone as a teenager, going through precarious and life-threatening situations on his trip.
After his application for asylum was rejected in Norway, he came to Iceland where he waited one year, only for his application to be rejected again. The Icelandic authorities unlawfully tried to deport Amir after he had already passed the one year quota, and would have been legally eligible for a substantial review of his case.
With help from the No Borders activist group and a lawyer who sued the Directorate of Immigration, his case was finally taken up again. After over two whole years of waiting and hiding in Iceland, he finally was granted asylum.

This song reflects on the story of the ‘Vesturfarar’.
Around 1870-1910 almost one quarter of the Icelandic population left their homes and resettled mostly in North America, in search for better living conditions. Back then, life in Iceland was tough, poverty levels were high and many people suffered from hunger. Most of the voice recordings stem from the TV documentary ‘Vestur í bláinn’ (1975) and feature interviews with people who were part of the emigration wave. One of them, Salomé, talks about the journey, whilst Björn points out the difficulties of starting a new life in a faraway country.

Amir is a refugee from Afghanistan. Five years ago, he made his way to Europe alone as a teenager, going through precarious and life-threatening situations on his trip.
After his application for asylum was rejected in Norway, he came to Iceland where he waited one year, only for his application to be rejected again. The Icelandic authorities unlawfully tried to deport Amir after he had already passed the one year quota, and would have been legally eligible for a substantial review of his case.
With help from the No Borders activist group and a lawyer who sued the Directorate of Immigration, his case was finally taken up again. After over two whole years of waiting and hiding in Iceland, he finally was granted asylum.

Aleksey is a 63-year-old construction worker. With roots in Russia and Ukraine and after having spent most of his life in Latvia, he came to Iceland twelve years ago. “In the evenings, I play the guitar for myself alone at home,” was the headline of an article about him on the homepage of Efling, Iceland’s union for basic and low-income workers.
In the recording, Aleksey recounts the story of one of his favourite Russian love songs, “Лирическая” by Vladimir Vysotsky. The song is about a man entering an enchanted forest to find the woman that he loves, trying to convince her of the modest but beautiful life that would await her with him.

Joshua is a refugee from Nigeria. In the spring of 2019, he was part of an independently organised group of refugees in Iceland that initiated protests against Iceland’s immigration/refugee policies.
The group hoped to be heard by society and the government, demanding a better and more humane treatment of asylum seekers in Iceland, an end to the deportations, equal access to health care, the right to work, the closing of isolated refugee camps, and a substantial review for all applications for asylum.
Like many other refugees from Africa, Joshua reached Europe on a small boat landing on the shores of Italy. There he lived on the streets for several years until he managed to come to Iceland.
Eventually his case got rejected in Iceland and he was deported back to Italy.
