Blown Away Music by Assi Ben-porat.

The story begins with the Brixton Uprising in April 1981. A young man, Tony (www.creationmythpuppets.co.uk), was deeply affected by that event He penned the words to this song , originally called Market Town. The words parallel the anger and oppression that exploded thirty-five years ago on Railton Road, the birth of anew child and the love in a relationship. Tony’s friend , Assi (www.arttaichi.com ) who lived next door on the hill above Brixton, said he would like to put the words to music. So early in that June the song was recorded onto a tape recorder. Assi moved back to Israel and Tony moved to Devon and many years passed (33). The tape got lost but the two friends stayed in touch. One day Assi got in contact with Tony and asked if he still had the lyrics because he had the notion to put those words to music once again. And that’s what Assi did. Meanwhile Tony, Inspired by the memories of those far off days, scribed a new chorus and the song got a new name. Then Tony and Assi enlisted the help of two amazing and talented musician friends :Pete Josef (www.petejosef.com) and Ivan Hussey (www.celloman.co.uk ). Their generous contributions lifted the song and conjured another level from the original material. What to do with a song forged over 33 years? We decided that the best route forward was to get a video made. Another generous and talented friend helped, Karen Abadie (www.karenabadie.wix.com/karenabadie#!commissioned-films/c14vv ) . So this is a story about enduring friendship, the miracle of birth, lasting love and the upsurge of anger unleashed by the greed and injustices of market forces.
