Universal Echoes

Oil spills, deforestation, illegal mining: these extractive activities are devastating the Amazon rainforest. Earth I is a lamentation for the destruction of the world’s largest forest and its indigenous stewards. 

Droughts caused by climate change are transforming once rich agricultural lands in the Middle East into desserts. Water II speaks to the drying up of rivers like the Euphrates, which crosses Turkey, Iraq and Syria. 

Born and raised in different parts of the world, the lives of the eleven members of Kuné have all been impacted by climate change. Whether it is displacement caused by wars or sickness from pollution, all of our lives have been touched by these crises. Making music together is how we cope with and respond to these calamities. 
Universal Echoes is a testament to the power of a pluralistic vision of the future, in which innovative responses come from a deep commitment to traditional culture and an openness to dialogue and transformation.
