**London indiepop duo Shrinari present ‘Listen Up’ with video focused on the Huni
Kuin tribe of Brazil.
_The ‘Hold On To The Hope, Though’ LP is out now_
.

_“Omamori’s crystalline vocals and sense of innocence take us on a reflective and
purifying flight… Angulo’s instrumentation provides the perfect peaceful crucible
in which to hold it, confidently and reassuringly… could be dubbed earth-pop”_ ~**

_“Soft-spoken pop meets a purifying Irish spring… Weaving musical tapestries with
harp, guitar and vocals… a beautiful marriage of sound with song, drawing you in
with frequencies and tones that seemingly connect with our organs and cells” _~ **

_“A clear and strong earthy and believable delivery with a minimalistic song framework”_

British-Spanish indie folk duo [**Shrinari **](http://shrinari.com/)present their
highly relevant single** [‘Listen Up’](https://youtu.be/8QnIRdIo6P8) **– a timely
message to take care of what we have before it’s too late. The accompanying video
was created by **Frida Wiita**, based on footage **Scott Murden** that filmed of
the [**Huni Kuin**](https://hunikuin.org/en/home/?living-gaia-e-v-2/spende) tribe
of Brazil.

This song is found on their new long-player[ **‘Hold On To The Hope, Though’**](https://shrinari.bandcamp.com/)**,**
a collection of deep, inspirational tracks, bringing the listener on a surrealistic
journey on a path of discovery. You could call this music Genre Fluid, Sacred Funk
or Spirit Soul. You could call it High Frequency Music or World Folk Pop. This beautifully-
crafted collection is full of love, light and positivity.

These eight tracks intertwine the personal and the collective, giving voice to the
challenges we are facing in these changing times. Always delivered with a Shrinari
sense of optimism and hope filled wonder, their music reflects the point of no return
that we are living through historically, together with the timeless themes of human
existence and evolution.

**‘Listen Up’**

“I read a book as a teenager, which incorporates two speeches by Native American
Indians called “How can one sell the air?” (A manifesto for the Earth). It evoked
an innate understanding in me as I always had a strong passion towards environmental
causes. I really felt strongly about protecting the Earth and could not understand
the choices we were making to go against this,” says **Lucidia Omamori**.

“This book came to mind when I was writing the song, further influenced by our time
shared with Huni Kuni people and Native Americans whose interconnectedness with 
Earth and respect for her as our mother rings true throughout my being. It was beautiful
to share this at the Extinction Rebellion protests in London. I do hope the song
inspires people to take environmental action in whatever ways they are able to.”

Based in London, Shrinari is a leading duo on the British spiritual music scene 
and also tour internationally. Formed by **Lucidia Omamori** and **Rafael Marchante
Angulo**, they incorporate harp, guitar and vocals into their music, which has a
strong spiritual component and carries a message of hope, unity and connection.

Earlier, the duo released the singles[ **‘The Gift’**](https://youtu.be/ykCjGRiYq3g),
the cinematic ethno-folk-pop ballad** **[**‘Desert Path’**](https://youtu.be/i_cJYcB0Nc4)
and [‘**Standing Rock’**](https://shrinari.bandcamp.com/track/standing-rock) featuring
London-based chamber-pop artist [**Heren Wolf**](https://www.facebook.com/herenwolf/),
notable Spanish drummer **Edu Olmedo** and the sublime horn section from Brixton
reggae, dub and afrobeat band **The Soothsayers**.

Shrinari makes music that brings hope, fuels a positive outlook on life, and promotes
ecological and spiritual awareness. With their new musical output, Shrinari continue
their transcendent adventure in consciousness and celebration of love and life through
the synergy of sound and song.

**Rafael Marchante Angulo** speaks of this song, first played on Kerrang radio in
2019. “Creating ‘Listen Up’ was a beautiful adventure, it came out as quite experimental
to start with, the initial version was a good 90 sec longer and featured an extended
middle section. We decided to cut it down and then we reworked it completely, adding**
Idris Rahman**’s lush horn section and recording some instruments again to take 
advantage of my improved recording skills two years on”.

He adds, “This song is about the obvious fact that, when you live in immediate and
constant touch with nature, you have a naturally unshakeable connection with it 
and there are things you’d never do, let alone destroy the environment the way it
is being destroyed due to our industrial level blindness. Again it’s not about some
idilic idea, even though we love things idyllic: our very survival is in question.
This is a recurring theme in our songs because it’s such an important issue. Probably
the most important together with human rights violations around the world, which
the indigenous defenders of ancestral lands and ways of life suffer constantly.”

The ‘Hold Onto The Hope, Though’ album is out now, available digitally everywhere,
including **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/6FEZ3jC8K0kL2RW1It8nVH)**,****
[**Apple Music**](https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/shrinari/980645268) and directly
from the artist via [**Bandcamp**](https://shrinari.bandcamp.com/album/hold-on-to-the-hope-though).
A percentage of profits from their music goes to support projects aimed at protecting
the earth and indigenous peoples.
