Sapelo's a place off Carolina
Speaking tongues that run into each other
Dance the Buzzard Lope
Is simply what they do
If the spirit moves you to you know they'd
Love to dance with you
beautiful people on these Islands full of life and love
Speaking words of truth and freedom
So much overcome
If you don't get there soon
You're gonna miss them when they're gone
You're gonna miss them when they're gone
(PreChorus)
Gullah never have to answer where did they come from
Geechee always knew their freedom came from up above
If you don't get there soon
You're gonna miss them when they're gone
You're gonna miss them when they're gone
(Chorus)
We Be Gullah Gullah
An a Geechee Geechee
We been ya since da time when da bud sing
Come ya, Oba ya
Una wanna go
Ooh ha ha, you shuda seen it fo da bridge com
*gasp for air

Zero Grasses is yet another masterpiece by a truly unique artist. Jen Shyu is a consummate scholar-practitioner. Her vast knowledge of East Asian musical traditions is audible in her voice, its impeccable articulation and expressive range.
This album focuses decades of intense craftsmanship to bear on deeply personal reflections on family, loss and growing up as an Asian-American woman. It's a deeply touching, beautiful record that I cannot recommend highly enough. Cosmographer

It's hjyper-edgy and yet still in the tradition. I hear echoes of Trane and Ornette and the more I listen, I'm sure the more connections I'll hear. davxyz234
