"Personally as a musician who travels the world, sharing cultural values through music, I feel for refugees in the sense that they find themselves in places where they are not sure how they will be received but have to adhere to whatever situation they face.
Imagining myself in that kind of situation always get me scared, so this project for me is to say we're all in this together. A luta continua!"
