From Taiwan to Madagascar, “Small Island, Big Song” celebrates the musical traditions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Over three years, “Small Island, Big Song” evolved from visits to the sixteen Island Nations to working with over one hundred solo artists and grassroot musicians recording using traditional instruments and languages.
With their powerful vocals and beautiful cinematography, the stunning musical production also enlightens about the environments, social, and cultural history behind our oceans. In 2018, the collaboration launched its fair trade and climate action driven project through social, audio, film and performance content on a global scale. Since its premiere, the concert has captivated over 170,000 people and continues to do so.
