    It Is Right to Rebel is an exciting and thought provoking new record from Mat Callahan & Yvonne Moore and friends. The double LP consisting of 15 tracks are mostly rooted in the folk music tradition with the unifying elements of rhythm, group singing and acoustic music. Lyrically it deals with topics such as the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, political prisoners and environmental issues.

    The central theme of the record is awareness. It Is Right to Rebel is a battle cry, a wake up call, an invitation to join the struggles of our time, a celebration of rebellion and social movements and a musical thumbs up to all the people that realize that big changes have to be made.

    The double album comes in a gatefold sleeve with cover art made by graphic designer and author of The Encyclopedia of Political Record Labels, Josh McPhee, from the Just Seeds collective.

    It Is Right to Rebel is a true product of internationalism. It is recorded in Switzerland by an American and a gang of Swiss musicians, the cover art is made by an American activist from Brooklyn and the record is released by a Norwegian leftist record label.

    The release is limited to 500 physical copies world wide.

about

There is so much to be against in this world, I wanted to remind myself and other people that there is something we are for. Saying, "NO!" to war, poverty and oppression is absolutely essential. But so is saying "Yes" to peace and justice. In fact, at this particular moment in history, affirmation has special importance. Though the smile has been appropriated by propagandists for consumerism, we must not let their duplicity prevent us from celebrating the fact that we know there is a better way.
– Mat Callahan

lyrics

Say Yes

I can see that you’re down,
I can see you are suffering,
I know that you’ve lost
nearly all of your faith.
But if you can still stand up
and take my hand,
I want you to say, “Yes,
Oh, yes,
Oh, yes,
Oh, yes!”

You have been through the fire,
I can see you been badly burned,
We both know that the liar
has stolen the truth,
But if you can still stand up
and take my hand
I want you to say, “Yes,
Oh, Yes,
Oh, Yes,
Oh, Yes!”

I know that time,
time can be cruel,
I know the past
of pain it is full,
But remember this my friend
All that begins must end
That’s why tomorrow must
Sho ’nuff belong to us
This much I believe,
I believe
but we’ve got to say, Yes

Then together we’ll walk,
together we’ll find a way
To raise up a flag
everybody can see,
Sayin’ if you want peace and justice
for all humanity
I want you to say, “Yes,
Oh, yes,
Oh, yes,
Oh, yes”

If we want peace and justice
for all humanity-
we have got to say Yes,
Oh, yes,
Oh, yes,
Oh, yes”
