The Night Will Not Be Silenced (by Cacerolazo)

The Night Will Not Be Silenced (by Cacerolazo) This is a protest song written and recorded by a collection of Yangon-based punks who are against the military coup that has gripped Myanmar since 1 February 2021. It pays homage to the cacophony of noise that envelopes the country every night at 8pm when protesters, in resistance to the junta, bang pots and pans, which in Myanmar culture is believed to drive away evil spirits. We wanted to share in this unity by bringing people together from across the Yangon punk community to write and record our own raucous din. The track is available to download for “pay what you want“ from Bandcamp: ​ All donations will be directed to the civil disobedience movement. The band are encouraging people to give directly through ​.
