Bruce Parry Songs For Survival Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)

CD available now from the Survival shop: http://bit.ly/cEnIoD

Yusuf Islam speaks here about his contribution to an album for Survival International, the human rights organization for tribal peoples. Bruce Parry, star of the BBC series Tribe and the forthcoming Amazon, has teamed up with some of the music worlds biggest names to create a fundraising album for Survival. Musicians on the album also include will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas), Johnny Borrell (Razorlight), Tom Baxter, Mystery Jets, Jason Mraz, KT Tunstall, Hot Chip, the Go! Team and Mike Oldfield. In addition, Guy Berryman from Coldplay, Jonas from MEW and Magne from A-ha have formed a new band specially for the CD called Apparatjik, and recorded a track that will also be used for the end credits of Amazon. Every track on the album is exclusive, and has been written especially for the project. The first section of songs is titled Amazon and features songs inspired by Bruce Parrys new series of that name, to be shown on BBC2 in September. The second section of songs, entitled Tribe, is a collection of dance/experimental songs which all use samples of music Bruce recorded with the tribal people he lived with during the making of his hugely popular BBC show.

Extinction is a part of life for inferior species.  I think its pathetic pop stars trying to save backward tribes. Humanity has moved on and if your people cant keep up then too bad. Humanity needs these tribes like it needs the smallpox virus.

It's a shame to read your comment, full as it is of alarming misconceptions and your casual justification for genocide. Thank heavens for the rest of humanity which has 'moved on' enough to recognize equality amongst people and the unacceptability of human rights abuses.

WHERE can i find this song without people speaking over it?

[survivalintl]

search iTunes for 'edge of existence' or better still buy the whole album from iTunes or Amazon (search for 'Bruce Parry presents').

I can honestly say that this is the first song I've heard from him since he became a Muslim that has the old fire and passion that I loved in his music as Cat Stevens..what a WONDERFUL return to his TRUE musical prowess!

[WERTY123]

Its very john lennon in its raw style

@survivalintl on est une annee plustard reveillezvous thankyou

[WERTY123]

with all the tabloid journalism around - you'd think they would crucify this man many times over. the irony that paul mccartney has worked with him and yusuf has had that silly symbolic beard even before his conversion.

[CorporalNym]

@WERTY123 an insult to Lennon a real artist of deep principals Unlike the Muslim convert Stevens who called for the death of Salman Rushdie on LIVE British television. Even though he denies this and has attempted to remove all trace of this footage from the general media including youtube. Thankfully he failed and we can still see this charlatan for what he is: a lost human being who turned to and remains in an ugly anti life cult, complete with a uniform, rituals and a silly symbolic beard.

[CorporalNym]

One should not use the words Yusuf Islam in the context of 'humanity.' Never forget this ex drippy hippie who converted to Islam called for the death of Salman Rushdie live on British television though he denies this. Thankfully the footage of Cat ((deluded) Stevens is still available even though he has attempted to remove all trace of it. I'm all for 'humanity' but Yusuf Islam-nee Stevens is not. One cannot call for the death of an author-a real artist, not a pop star, and a be humanitarian

[redshirtish]

If you go to Yusuf Islams web page you can read him saying why he has dropped Islam From His Stage Name and that he will not wear islamic clothes or a turban and that he regrets being a conformist to the islamic crowd when he first converted. We are seeing the true Cat Stevens near the end of his life now understand that death threats and islamic fundamentals are anti human and not God he is changing he was great he can be great again

azazel637 -

Clearcutting rainforests is not natural selection. Damming rivers is not natural selection. Carving mountainsides for "resources" is not natural selection. Oceans choaked with plastic is not natural selection. Paving over ecosystems is not natural selection. Nuclear waste is not natural selection. Economic and political power is not natural selection. Industrial induced global warming is not natural selection.

Those are homicide, and eventually...even to you, suicide

[tchiritchou]

@azazel637 Id prefer to see YOU out instead of them.... your coment is pathetic, disrepectful, and ignorant.

So is that why you are going extinct w/ your suicidal consumption?

Is that why you have little self-discipline & consume far beyond your boundaries?

Is that why you are less robust than these native peoples?

They may have short lifespan, but life is lived fully!

Lets see which could sleep overnight comfortably without a blanket. You lose!

They are the same "specie" as you!
