Swedish Hip Hop giants Looptroop, Aisha , Soul, Blues and Jazz force, banned from America, and stirring Anarkafeminist Choir from Stockholm are some of the other contributors.
Comprising music and spoken word in French, English and Swedish, "Sudden Move" salutes men like anarchist Ali Khalid Abdullah, whose gripping words of protest, "I Charge America", are read by activists in two languages. His jail cell lyric writing of "In The Night" is arranged and performed by US exile Aisha, the Sudden Move producer. He mailed the words to Sweden by prison letter to Aisha also a persecuted artist, and the resulting composition captures a prisoner's anguish and human longing for intimacy.
Mumia Abu Jamal extends, through dissidents' voices, his sage like response to US imperialism, in French and English.
