Ooberfuse Join Forces With Typhoon Survivors For 'One Reality' Single
London-based band Ooberfuse have joined forces with typhoon survivors living on the shore-line where the deadliest ever typhoon struck land for their new single 'One Reality', released 9th February 2015.
Although many from the front-line fishing village, fortunate to survive the recent natural disaster, have fled in search of safer dwellings others, in defiance, have remained behind.
"In Tacloban town we were told that 2 of the ships brought in-land by the unprecedented storm surge in November 2013 were still intact", said Cherrie, front-woman of the band.
"Out of curiosity we drove out of town in search of the beached ships, surviving remnants of typhoon Haiyan that, thanks to the various media reports, have come to symbolise the devastation. We were surprised to find that although many died in the typhoon or had fled nevertheless there was still a small community living a traditional life-style on the shore-line. When we asked if they would like to take part in our music video they jumped at the prospect."
The only reason his house survived was because a huge Japanese freight-liner, now 100 yards from his front door, broke the full force of the wave as it was propelled inland by the force of the surge."
