Azato – Bridges Not Walls

Azato, a seasoned roots reggae artist from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, has been captivating audiences for over 25 years with his soulful melodies and profound lyrics. His latest single, “Bridges Not Walls,” released on May 17, 2024, serves as a powerful call for unity and healing in a world often divided by fear and misunderstanding. Drawing inspiration from the wisdom of Rumi, who said, “Love is the bridge between you and everything,” Azato emphasizes that the true opposite of love is not hate, but fear. Through his music, he encourages listeners to build bridges of love and understanding, rather than walls of division.

“Bridges Not Walls” blends traditional roots reggae with contemporary elements, featuring rich instrumentation that includes the B-3 organ, saxophone, trombone, trumpet, and rhythmic percussion. Azato’s soulful vocals, combined with the rhythmic percussion and ukulele, deliver the message with sincerity and passion. The song’s production quality is top-notch, allowing each instrument and vocal line to shine through clearly. The seamless integration of these musical elements enhances the song’s overall impact, making it not only a listening experience but also a call to action.

“Bridges Not Walls” is available for streaming on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. By embracing this anthem, listeners are invited to join Azato in spreading messages of love and unity, fostering a more connected and compassionate world.
