A Guide to the Birdsong of Western Africa

£44.99

Released: 13th January 2023. An album of incredible music inspired by endangered birdsong, this is the third album from The Birdsong Project that challenges ten artists from a certain region to make an original track using and inspired by the song of a threatened bird. 100% of the profits from the project go to bird conservation NGOs working on the ground. Following South America and Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, this album moves to Western Africa. The album mixes well-known names from the World or traditional music scene like Vieux Farka Toure, alongside electronic music producers like Buruntuma. This record is also pressed on the greenest record available via Green Vinyl Records with 100% PVC-free, 100% recycled cardboard and 70% less CO2 emissions.
