      "You Are Our Heroes".

    You Are Our heroes

    Track 3 on the EP 'the ffusion project - Albanian Polyphony'.

    The original was written about the Albanian Heroes of the past who fought against the Turkish Invaders in the 15th Century. I re-imagined the meaning and made the heroes those people celebrated in the 'House' of Leaves', a museum in Tirana dedicated to those who lost thier lives standingup to the communist regime in Albania in the 20th century.

    Featuring drums by Joe Savage
    and the iso-polyphomic singers of Thesaret Labe

    The lyrics of the original Iso-polyphonic song it was based on are:

    The Albanian nation was born
    Man who shook the ground
    From the times of Skanderbeg
    Boletin Ismail Benë

    Kapedans and Vezirs
    They shook the empire
    Ali Pasha in Janina

    (incomplete)
