Gumbaru

from Trio by Say Bok Gwai

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Both of the last releases from Say Bok Gwai on one CD.

    TRIO picks up where CHINK IN THE ARMOR, Say Bok Gwai’s second release, left off. Featuring 16 short, quirky and fast songs about Chinese and American culture, society, politics, history and identity. Say Bok Gwai reinvents musical genres from punk to metal to hardcore. In reaction to requests by fans, this recording has the inclusion of bass guitar which has not been in any previous recordings.

    CHINESE JESUS reveals four very different and unique compositions for Say Bok Gwai. This EP expands the band’s music by having the duo move into areas of Jazz, Progressive, Satanic and Stoner Metal. Although SBG has always touched upon these genres, Chinese Jesus dives deeper by adding new instrumentation and overdubs to expand the dynamic of the duo.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Trio via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Never give in
Gumbaroo

Str8 Outta Oaktown
Born off foreign shores
A true American
with a Japanese core
A time a country turned on it's own
Americans lost their businesses and homes
rumored enemies of the state
interned in Tanfran Park to wait
"No one could leave the camps"
But that did not hold you back

Escaped with a Chinese surname- Soo
Comedian Singer Actor in the Midwest - MC
An inspiration, an activist, pioneer - legacy
Gumbaroo Gumbaroo Gumbaroo

Goro Suzuki, you will not be forgotten.
Your mark has been made in acetate.
Goro Suzuki, just hang on through problems.
We will continue the struggle
Gum ba ray!
