Singer and songwriter Meklit Hadero and hip hop artists Gabriel Teodros and Burnt face are not strangers to creating art for global audiences - all three are American artists of Ethiopian descent with internationally distributed albums and years of social and cultural activism work. They named their collaboration Copperwire and chose outer space as their vantage point, stepped off the surface of the planet and claimed extraterrestrial roots to better make sense of our world. Copperwire's debut album Earthbound is a hip hop space opera that uses the metaphors of intergalactic distances to speak about migration, alienation and connecting their roots on two continents thousands of miles apart but inseparably coiled together in human history.
