10-year-old online musical sensation Nandi Bushell has offered her support of Black Lives Matter and the fight against racism with a multi-instrumental cover of the Rage Against The Machine classic “Guerrilla Radio.”
Bushell rocked the drums, bass, and guitar for the virtuoso split-screen performance. Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has already praised the British youngter's rendition, retweeting the performance and writing, “Well, now we’re on the right track.”
A description of the performance on her YouTube channel and social media pages stated, “Solidarity in the Fight to End Racism! #fightracism #blacklivesmatter #enoughisenough. This song is one of Nandi’s favorite songs. Nandi has loved @rageagainstthemachine since she was a baby.”
Rage bassist Tim Commerford told us a while back that part of the band's mission is educating kids: “We’re all about a different point of view. We’re all about trying to educate kids and trying to make kids raise their hand in history class and say, ‘Why am I not learning about Mexico?’ and ‘Why am I not learning about Africa?’ and ‘Why am I not learning about East Timor? How come I didn’t know that we’ve been in East Timor since 1970 murdering people, you know? Why has that been kept a secret?' That’s what we’re here for.”
Bushell has previously covered Queens Of The Stone Age, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Royal Blood, The White Stripes and numerous other artists on her YouTube channel.
She might have gotten the chance to jam with the members of Rage themselves, but unfortunately their much-anticipated reunion tour was sidelined due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The politically charged band will now hit the road beginning June 3rd, 2021, in El Paso, Texas.
