about

Lil Obeah’s roots are a very eclectic batch of bands and artists, including his past projects Crowd Control, The Shape of Moombhaton and Tunesinnaourheads. He is inspired by the strangest and most special Romanian sounds, ranging from weird experimental authentic local dub to traditional reggae-dub with ska and rock influences, from 1988 to 2020.

The artist considers Dub music sound art and aims to create a forever authentic Romanian horror film soundtrack with his songs and remixes.

My grandmother inspired me to approach this song in a dub style. On the anniversary of her death I want to remember her as one of the most courageous people I knew. She used to say about politicians that "they have already sold us and our souls".

So when it comes to positive yet great political lyrics Oamenii sunt încă frumoși is one of the best songs there is out there in the Romanian music industry. I loved it from the first listen and I am totally inspired by its message and sound.

Because we need more women in art and music the Oamenii riddim is priviledged to welcome the superb voices of Elena Popa and Irina Marinescu. These creative and courageous ladies are diving deep into the concept and sharing a message of hope with sarcasm and dystopia with empathy.

Bandcamp only release.

lyrics

Ce și cui i-am dăruit

Mama a adus cadouri
Și le-a împărțit la copii
Șurei - o păușă, lui Vasile - mingea,
Iar lui Foma i-a dat un colac
