BJÖRK and ROSALIA have teamed up for a song, of which all proceeds – official version comes later this month – will help to pay the legal fees of people in Seyðisfjörður who are protesting against the new fish farm in their area.

For now you can only listen to the song on YouTube.

It has no title (yet). It’s announced as
“help fight fish farming in iceland.”

Björk shared this statement along with the song.

I am offering a song me and Rosalia sang together
the profits will to help the fight against fish farming in Iceland,
people at the fjord seyðisfjörður have stood up and protested
against fish farming starting there

we would like to donate sales of the song to help with their legal fees
and hopefully it can be an exemplary case for others, Iceland has the
biggest untouched nature in Europe and still today it has it´s sheep
roaming free in the mountains in the summers.

It´s fish has swum free in our lakes , rivers and fjords
so when icelandic and norwegian business men started buying fish
farms in the majority of our fjords, it was a big shock and rose up
as the main topic this summer, we don´t understand how they had been
able to do this for a decade with almost no regulations stopping them.

This has already had devastating effect on wildlife and the farmed fish are
suffering in horrid health conditions and since a lot of them have escaped,
they have started changing the DNA in the icelandic salmon to the worse
and could eventually lead to its extinction.

There is still a chance to safe the last wild salmon of the north
our group would like to dare these business men to retract their farms
we would also like to help invent and set strict regulations into Iceland´s
legal system to guard nature.

The majority of the nation already agrees with us
so this protest is about putting the will of the people
into our rule-systems.

75 seconds of a cappella beauty.
