Manifesto
Our actions are causing severe disturbances to the mountains, rivers and oceans — resources that have evolved over millions of years. If lost, they will be lost forever. We need to come together and stand beside the earth, now.

“They are highlighting the social impact of India’s worst ever water crisis through catchy and powerful music!” FM4, AUSTRIA
Our Story
We are musicians, filmmakers, visual artists and dancers from various parts of the world who want to address urgent ecological topics through art and music.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We, David Raddish, Ditty and Keno met on a project trip through India with Welthungerhilfe and Viva con Agua. We travelled through rural landscapes to track community led water conservation efforts that inspired us. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our debut record, RAIN IS COMING, released 22nd March 2021, on world water day. Proceeds from the record go to Viva con Agua to support projects in India and Africa.
“They represent a generation that no longer needs a nudge to see how quickly climate change hits us.”

RAIN IS COMING
is our first record.
Most of what you will hear are samples recorded on our trip through rural India. Water runs through the tracks in stories, songs and soundscapes - the creeks, the crowds, the chants of activists and creatures. You will hear our voices along with those of the people working hard to conserve and protect life.
