MUSICAL FIGHT FOR MUMIA CONTINUES
AS HUNDREDS DOWNLOAD NEW SINGLE
By Jason Crane, Groove Embassy Records
6 March 2001 (ROCHESTER, NY, USA) -- More than 450 people have downloaded
"Freedom of Speech" in the past two months, helping Groove Embassy
Records
and hip hop group Buddha Mind spread the word about the fight for justice
for jailed journalist and activist Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Groove Embassy Records offers links to information about Jamal at its Web
site, www.grooveembassy.com. From the site, you can also take action to
support jailed activist and Mumia supporter C. Clark Kissinger.
The "Freedom of Speech" CD single features the haunting original mix,
with
Spee*D Gnot on the mic and music by J.Q.Public. It also includes the
synthcore remix by Chicago mixmaster Clark Tetris.
No one associated with Groove Embassy Records or Buddha Mind will receive
a
penny from the song. All profits -- if that day comes -- will go directly
to Mumia's organzing fund, held by the International Concened Family and
Frends of Mumia Abu-Jamal.
You can download MP3s of both versions of "Freedom of Speech" at
www.grooveembassy.com. You can also purchase the CD from Groove Embassy
Records. Check out www.grooveembassy.com/order.html, call 1-888-GER-1976,
or send an e-mail message to info@grooveembassy.com. The CD is $5
(includes
shipping). All proceeds go to Mumia's organizing fund, held by ICFFMAJ.
(Jason Crane is the founder and chief lackey of Groove Embassy Records.)
