[@christopherwynn7526]

A nice, easy blend of various voices and instruments. Especially like the build-up of the song and its now familiar message. It deserves a wider audience.

[@ValBrindilles]

Je viens d'écouter "Sous les feuillages des tropiques un documentaire qui parle uniquement des forêts dans l'émission Le temps d'un bivouac sur France Inter, que je conseille à tous les amoureux des forêts et de la Terre. A la fin de l'émission ce morceau de musique est apparu comme par miracle, un océan de douceur et de profondeur à n'en pas douter et qui me parle sans en comprendre un mot. Dès les premières notes la nostalgie s'est emparée de tout mon être avec une pluie de larmes. Le monde des îles, des peuples premiers, du Pacifique manquent tellement à mes pas. Et je suis venue ici pour la réécouter. Envie de retrouver mon île tout là-bas, my home : Aotearoa 🙏🌏

[@SmallIslandBigSong]

Merci from Tim the producer in Taiwan.

[@sinalehauli695]
