SASHA ILYUKEVICH & THE HIGHLY
SKILLED MIGRANTS
SINGLE ‘VISA’ PRESS RELEASE
'VISA'
is Ilyukevich’s satirical reflection on the adversity of living in the
post-Soviet dictatorship of his Motherland Belarus, and later his struggle to
settle in Britain,
having to comply to ever-aggressive immigration rules.
“You
need a Visa to see our democracy. You are a Second Class Citizen. You need a
Visa to speak out.”
In
this volatile and hostile political climate, the future uncertainties provoked
by Brexit act to exacerbate the conflicting opinions on the Migrant Crisis in
Europe, the demagogue Trump and Putin’s imperialistic ambitions. This song
addresses the evasive 'VISA' to remain as symbolic of all such biased
bureaucratic systems used to create even more separation and destruction in
this world.
