The tunes and lyrics of a Burmese revolutionary anthem echoes across Lincoln Park in Albany.
Its title translates to, “We Won’t Be Satisfied till the End of the World,” and is sung by dozens of local Burmese residents on this Sunday afternoon.
The song first introduced during the 1988 pro-Democracy movement in Myanmar still carries a lot of meaning today. Especially now, with a military coup underway for more than two months in their home country.
“We all want peace and solidarity,” said Hnin Myo, a Myanmar native.
Hnin Myo, who was granted asylum to the U.S. five years ago, organized this event, which drew several different Burmese ethnic groups here. They re all calling for democracy to be restored in Myanmar.
