Taking a lead from the 1940's classic 'The Dublin Saunter' (and there's something you don't hear everyday) Lethal Dialect has recorded a new track as part of the Dublin2020 bid.
The campaign to have the capital recognised as the European Capital of Culture in five year's time has been boosted by the rapper dropping the 'New Dublin Saunter'. It's not just him, either; Terry McMahon has directed the video - which you can check out below - and the track also includes a soulful vocal contribution from frequent collaborator Jess Kav.
Talking about getting stuck into the campaign, Lethal himself said: “Getting involved in the Dublin2020 bid is something I am very proud to do – to me it is a look to the future, to what Dublin could be in 2020. I want to show my support and also show Dubliners that now is the time to start talking about and celebrating the amazing culture that we all share – to quote the original song, ‘Dublin could be heaven’ in 2020 but to get there, people need to get talking about the bid, about what makes Dublin tick. I hope this song and video helps to keep the conversation going.”
