Musicians Unite Across Borders in a New Song for the Amazon
A global collaboration brings together artists from different countries to call for the protection of the Amazon and its Indigenous peoples.
A new song celebrating the Amazon and the people who call it home has been released, uniting musicians from across the world in a shared call to protect the rainforest.
The track, titled “Acontecer,” was produced by Playing For Change, a global project known for bringing together musicians from different countries in collaborative videos.
The release features Manu Chao and Alexandre Carlo, whose voices come together in an international appeal to safeguard the Amazon, Indigenous peoples and the wider planet.
The song was shared as part of the work of Amazon Watch, an Ecoflix partner, which has long supported the protection of the rainforest and the rights of those who depend on it.
By reaching audiences through music, the collaboration aims to widen the conversation around the Amazon and inspire people far beyond the region to care about its future.
It is a hopeful reminder that conservation messages can travel in many forms — and that art has the power to bring distant communities together around a common cause.
