The Wise Goat
Written around a traditional Zambian story that Theresa Ng'ambi's grandmother told her when she was a girl, this is a song about the importance of conserving our resources & caring for our natural world so that there is enough for everyone: enough for this generation, and for generations to come. With additional lyrics in Urdu, by Zara Madani, based on a conservation-themed traditional saying from Pakistan.

This Breath
We’ve written an anthem of hope, driven by Blanca Altable's Galician Celtic violin and the Afro-European rhythm section of Nahom Solomon and Mattia Saravo. The lyrics draw upon on Rafe Pearlman’s Jewish roots and Alaskan wilderness upbringing to reframe our Earth as a vision of Paradise - of Eden - that we can reclaim and return to: all we have to do is come together to dream it, and then work together to make that dream a reality. We're proud & excited to make this song our very first submission to a BeyondMusic project!
