This is FORA: Grandmother

And tonight / let me count / you broke 1,2,3 commandments / 1 from God and 2 from me...

This is FORA: Francine

Why you so concerned with how I look and I dress /
what I'm doing / who I'm seeing / what I'll do next /
let me tell you something I live life no regrets /
so hate me if you want just get in line!
~Francine

This is FORA: Orac

Somewhere over the water the moon shines /
clouds travel the night sky /
searching for sunrise /
Somewhere over the water the ocean sounds /
waves are rolling around /
they rise and they come down..."
~Orac

This is FORA: The Syrens

Find us on the rocks down by the bay /
come and harmonize your past away /
there will be no hurt, there'll be no shame /
we will help you set in on a wave...
~The Syrens

"oooh, it's paradise,
the pain and the strife,
the time of your life..."

FORA is a musical journey to the otherworldly island of Forafu,
where preachers and politicians coexist with oracles and syrens
and the dwindling population is a sign of the times.

"....shii, arusch, shatah, chyo
kamusta, tumashii sosso..."


Told through the eyes of a family splintered by migration,
the soul of a nation struggling to stay afloat,
and two hearts entwined in an odds-defying love,
FORA is a rhythmic, lyrical celebration of the joys we find
and the love we leave behind.
