Manatapu
release
new
video and
single
'Keep on
fighting'
HAVING gone slightly silent
during the pandemic, Manatapu
was busy in the studio writing
new material. Now that we are
seeing the light at the end of the
tunnel, Manatapu is back just
in time for summer with the re-
lease of a single dedicated to all
the frontliners that worked (and
are still working) so hard dur-
ing this pandemic. The single
is called 'Keep on Fighting' and
is about our day-to-day battles
that bring out our inner warri-
ors. Deep down we are all aware
that this battle is not over, but
the courage and resilience that
makes us human will keep us
going.
This is the second single re-
leased from the upcoming EP,
which will be launched when
mass event restrictions are
eased. The lyrics of this reggae
ska tune are written in three
languages (French, Spanish,
and English), as are most Ma-
natapu songs.
"We wanted to give some-
thing back to the frontliners
who worked day and night to
keep us safe. The best thing
was to write a song in their
honor." said Dario, guitarist of
the band.
The single was recorded and
produced by David Depasquale
at Spinesplitter and comes also
with the release of an accompa-
nying video, directed and pro-
duced by Jesse Pass (ROKKR
Media).
'Keep on fighting' can be
streamed on all digital me-
dia platforms like Spotify and
iTunes, local radio stations,
and on https://www.manatapu.
com.mt. The music video is al-
so available on the same site or
