Description

This piece is dedicated to my brother Pipe who has been fundamental in my life. His love and tenderness have kept me safe on this road. The title also refers to a tree. In her book Beloved, Toni Morrison introduces
us to a group of slaves who named a tree Brother. In the midst of a heartbreaking and recent history such as slavery, this powerful metaphor full of beauty and humanity appears. The trees are also my brothers
and sisters.
With the title, I want to pay tribute to literature, resistance and tenderness, which like my brother, kept me safe.
Music draws drops of rain falling on a tree, and the strength that runs through it from the roots in the soil to its tallest branches.
