Protest is the flagship release of an exciting new series of world music recordings from industry leader Ellipsis Arts. In it, a Vietnam-era pacifist warning from Pete Seeger encounters an anti-slavery rumba from Congolese composer Papa Wemba, and a controversial tune by the "Joan Baez of Israel" joins forces with an elegy for an IRA operative. These are accompanied by impassioned anti-war ballads and broadsides from Algeria, Jamaica, Brittany, Argentina, Lebanon, the U.K. and Sub-Saharan Africa.
