The Nile project description
Music is a language, exclaims Ethiopian sax player and Nile Project musician Jorga, and in the Nile Project, the conversation is about love. The love of craft, of place, of the river that connects eleven countries and millions of people.

The passion and affection spring forth via one of the tightest cross-cultural collaborations in history.  Forged over weeks of carefully calibrated workshops and participatory composition, the Nile Project Collective members hail from all along the great river, from its sources beyond Lake Victoria to its delta in Egypt.

The Nile Project uses music to spark cultural curiosity and engage audiencesparticularly university and student audiencesencouraging them to feel connected to the river and to explore new approaches to its large-scale problems. In an evolving series of interlocking programs that spring from the musical experience, the project aims to inspire, educate and empower young people worldwide to become Nile Citizens. These growing circles of participants will contribute to Nile sustainability through their music, leadership, and innovative ideas.

That was it for today guys....keep spreading the good vibes 😉
