KI: An Album As big As Planet Earth

KI means Earth in Sumerian, the first written language in human history (circa 3100 B.C.).

These ancient ancestors believed there were five elements: AG (Fire), BADUR (Water), KI (Earth), ANNA (Air), and ZI (Spirit).

This album embodies those five essential elements and takes you on a musical journey that showcases the astonishing diversity our beautiful planet is a host for, but also the life-threatening problems it faces.

Humans are certainly at the root of many of these problems, so we are also the solution. We can stop this. We must stop this.

All proceeds from our recordings are donated to NGOs that actively work on cleaning and preserving our planet. Thank you for listening and supporting. Please share this page if you want to help.
