THE ENVIRONMENT - LET'S MAKE A SONG AND DANCE ABOUT IT!

About Me

An internationally recognised composer and record producer (20 Cds released over the past seventeen years - see http://www.newearthrecords.com/web/pc/chinmaya.asp I am also a committed environmentalist. My aim now is to combine the two, using music to spread awareness about our misuse of this fragile planet. But I don't want to join in the doom and gloom! Each of us CAN make a difference by changing our mindsets, and to me this starts by allowing ourselves to be touched by the beauty of both music and nature. It's impossible to abuse something you love deeply!Part 1Environmentally concerned schoolchildren join the internationally celebrated 'Chinmaya Dunster and the Celtic Ragas Band', to read their poems about nature at this 'CONCERT FOR INDIA'S ENVIRONMENT'in Pune, India.

As these traditions begin to disappear, the next generation will have to find other means of saving forests. Tamil singer Shruti Banu joins the band to sing a song about the monsoon.CONCERT FOR INDIA'S ENVIRONMENT - PART 2 SACRED GROVES
