│ "Bananas and Chocolate. From the Ivory Coast of Africa to the │
│ mountainsides of Honduras these are some of the most exploited │
│ workers in the world, suffering from long hours, low pay, forced │
│ overtime, massive exposure to dangerous pesticides, and lack of │
│ job security. In the case of bananas, they are the fourth most │
│ important staple crop in world food production, and are grocery │
│ stores' single most profitable product. In many countries such │
│ as Columbia, Costa Rica, and Panama, workers have struggled to │
│ form unions and raise wages to as much as $11 a day. But in │
│ Ecuador temporary subcontracted laborers are not allowed to form │
│ unions and are earning an average of less than $2 a day. Beta │
│ Bodega Coalition has gathered it's electronic forces from around │
│ the world to address this issue that some might date back to the │
│ 1800's with the swindling of land and then rise to power of │
│ companies such as US Brand better known as Chiquita banana. But │
│ the truth is the theft of Latin America's resources goes much │
│ farther than that, it's become imperialism's (better known today │
│ as globalization) tradition and legacy. Just ask Seth P. Brundel │
│ (known for his head nod work on Botanica del Jibaro and │
│ Counterflow) who addresses through his trademark dark strings, │
│ somber melody and powerful beats the plight of 284,000 child │
│ laborers who work in hazardous conditions on cocoa farms in West │
│ Africa, 200,000 of whom work in Cote d'Ivoire and most of whom │
│ work alongside their families. Some estimates have put the │
│ number of child slaves at 15,000, prompting proposals to bar US │
│ imports of cocoa unless shippers can prove it was grown without │
│ slave labor. Cocoa is the primary ingredient in making │
│ chocolate. No surprise two-thirds of all cocoa products are │
│ consumed in Europe and North America." │
│ -- Beta Bodega Coalition │
│ │
│ "Another Beta Bodega gemstone, this time bringing together onto │
│ one CD the third volume in the awesome Banana Republic series │
│ and Seth P BrundelÆs excellent Mata De Cacao EP. The political │
│ agenda is always at the forefront with Beta Bodega, and both │
│ issues relating to exploitation and globalisation with the │
│ growing, distribution and slave trade in the Cocoa bean and │
│ Banana trades are addressed here by Mr Brundell and fellow │
│ activists Prefuse 73, Ultra Red, Spike (Phonem), Push Button │
│ Objects, Datathief and more. 14 tracks included in total which │
│ encompass a full range of quality sounds; a dark Datathief old │
│ school Skamtype electro ripper, the activism glitches of │
│ Ultra-red, the bouncing head nod of Prefuse 73 & V8, the │
│ powerful lyrical skill of Seth P. Guerra and Soarse Spoken, and │
│ so on. Third world power. Essential." │
