Биография

A collaboration of islander artists from across the Pacific and Indian oceans for climate justice. "Our ancestors were bridge builders, they found strengths in forming allies in unity. Our generation must keep walking this path to continue the essence of our core values." - Sauljaljui, Paiwan - Taiwan “If you hear an Are'Are song you can feel and see how long it has been there. The songs are documents of who we are, the only gift our ancestors gave us." - Charles Maimarosia, Are'Are - The Solomon Islands The first album & film (An Oceanic Songline) was composed, recorded & filmed in nature on the artists' custodial land.
