Who Are You
Listen to or buy digital single:
"Who Are You" is Tazina's latest recording, released in 2022. It is a chant-like war protest song that she wrote in support of Ukraine.
It’s short. It’s direct. It’s powerful. It challenges the invaders with questions about their right to invade. It contains an acoustic guitar, a drum heart-beat, and Tazina's voice that expands into a multi-layered choir-like effect building to a crescendo at the end.
It is her first self-recorded and produced song.
