Daudi Matsiko
Derby’s Dose.

A personal response to a tragic and horrific moment in our collective history.
Derby was an enslaved man, tortured and murdered by Thomas Thistlewood. Derby had a desire for shelter, food and safety. Yet he was greeted with torture, dehumanisation and ultimately annihilation.

The legacy of that human loss lives on today, unresolved.
This song was created lovingly with that in mind.
