For the first-time ever, Shanti Dope
and Flow G are delighted to unveil their collaboration this 2022 and
it’s a very eye-opening song “Kamusta.”
"Kumusta?" or "How are
you?" is always a welcome question amongst friends. It's an ice breaker
for what would be the start of the conversation or a soothing acknowledgement
to someone going through tough times.
Written in collaboration with Flow G, Shanti Dope’s latest release with the title "Kamusta" touches on a very delicate topic — depression.
Depression is a serious matter and we've
lost many young and very talented lives because of this mental health issue.
It comes as a surprise that with Shanti Dope
and Flow G's persona as hip-hop artists such a topic can be an inspiration for
a song; which only goes to show how well-rounded individuals they are and not
just an echo for grunt and angst. In terms of the lyrics, the two rappers were
able to bring up the important discussion regarding mental wellness and helped
in the stigma of suffering from depression being removed, in their own special
way.
If someone with depression does not find
God for solace, a family member or a friend can help with the continued
reassurance that help is always available. All it takes is to say, "Kamusta?"
"Meron bang nakakubli sa likod ng 'yong ngiti at kutitap ng iyong mga
mata? Mabigat ba sa dibdib 'pag laging pinipigilang sabihin ang iyong nadarama?
Di mo gustong malaman ng mundo ang kahinaan mo Kung wala kang malapitan, Pwede
mo akong sabihan."
“Kamusta" will be available on all
streaming platforms this May 27, while a Red Carpet Music Video Premiere is
happening this coming May 26, 2022 at SM Megamall Cinema 2 at 1pm. The music
video was directed by Jeremy Lim of Blck Mrkt.
