It features raw drums paired with authentic, Afro-inspired percussion that creates a driving, tribal rhythm.
Ernesto and The Basement Gospel provide soul-stirring, choral arrangements that contrast with the track's techier elements, adding a "gospel" weight to the dancefloor-focused production.
It bridges the gap between deep, melodic house and traditional Afro-house, retaining a "late-night edge" that is a hallmark of the RISE Music collective . Context and Ethos
is a standout collaboration between the enigmatic Afro-house producer Hyenah , Swedish vocalist Ernesto , and the choir ensemble The Basement Gospel . Released on July 1, 2022, as part of Hyenah’s album Love In Times Of Crisis on the RISE label, the track is a powerful fusion of raw electronic energy and spiritual depth. Musical Composition
The album Love In Times Of Crisis was born out of the 2020 lockdowns, bringing together artists from diverse regions to showcase global diversity through music.
The piece exemplifies Hyenah’s mission within the movement—a collective focused on unity, equality, and building bridges between global musical cultures.
The track is characterized by its sophisticated layering and organic textures:
This isn't the first time Hyenah and Ernesto have worked together; their ongoing creative partnership often explores spiritual themes within the context of underground club culture.

I think that Burma may hold the distinction of “most massive overhaul in driving infrastructure” thanks, some surmise, to some astrologic advice (move to the right) given to the dictator in control in 1970. I’m sure it was not nearly as orderly as Sweden – there are still public buses imported from Japan that dump passengers out into the drive lanes.
What, no mention of Nana San Maru?

tl;dr: Okinawa was occupied by the US after WW2, so it switched to right-hand drive. When the US handed Okinawa back over in the 70s, Okinawa reverted to left-hand drive.
Used Japanese cars built to drive on the Left side of the road, are shipped to Bolivia where they go through the steering-wheel switch to hide among the cars built for Right hand-side driving.

These cars have the nickname “chutos” which means “cheap” or “of bad quality”. They’re popular mainly for their price point vs. a new car and are often used as Taxis. You may recognize a “chuto” next time you take a taxi in La Paz and sit next to the driver, where you may find a rare panel without a glove comparment… now THAT’S a chuto “chuto” ;-)
What a clever conversion. The use of music to spread the message reminds me of Australia’s own song to inform people of the change of currency from British pound to the Australian dollar. Of course, the Swedish song is a million times catchier then ours.

Did the switch take place at 4:30 in the morning? Really? The picture from Kungsgatan lets me think that must have been in the afternoon.
Many of the assertions in this piece seem to likely to be from single sources and at best only part of the picture. Sweden’s car manufacturers made cars to be driven on the right, while the country drove on the left. Really? In the UK Volvos and Saabs – Swedish makes – have been very common for a very long time, well before 1967. Is it not possible that they were made both right and left hand drive? Like, well, just about every car model mass produced in Europe and Japan, ever. Sweden changed because of all the car accidents Swedish drivers had when driving overseas. Really? So there’s a terrible accident rate amongst Brits driving in Europe and amongst lorries driven by Europeans in the UK? Really? Have you ever driven a car on the “wrong” side of the road? (Actually gave you ever been outside of the USA might be a better question). It really ain’t that hard. Hmmm. Dubious and a bit weak.
