Share The Well with Caedmon's Call

2004-09-03 - Caedmon's Call, recently concluded production on its upcoming Oct. 12 release Share the Well. Having recorded the album with local musicians in India, Ecuador and Brazil, the band's focus is to raise awareness of caste discrimination against India's 250 million 'Dalits,' or lowest class, as well as existing persecution and poverty in the three countries. The band titled the record Share the Well when it learned that Dalits are not permitted to drink from community wells in India unless an upper caste person draws the water for them. Many Dalits wait all day and are never given a drink. For Caedmon's Call, this reality came as a metaphor to those thirsting for hope and a savior.
