Shika Shika presents the fifth volume in their Guide to the Birdsong
series, this time taking the song of endangered birds to the
dancefloor.
This new chapter of the long-running project that works with
renowned artists and producers to turn endangered birdsong into
music. This time, tracks from previous Birdsong albums are
reimagined by a global line-up of forward-thinking electronic artists,
including Auntie Flo, Photay, Matias Aguayo, Yosi Horikawa, Tayhana
and El Búho, transforming the calls, rhythms and atmospheres of
threatened bird species into a new remix album.
The idea is simple and unique: take music made from and inspired by
the songs of endangered birds, and invite some of the most distinctive
voices in contemporary electronic music to reinterpret it. The result is
a record that moves between experimental club music, organic
electronica, Latin American underground sounds, downtempo, field-
recording-led production and global dance music, all rooted in the
natural world.
Across its previous editions, from South America, Mexico, Central
America, Western Africa and Migration, A Guide to the Birdsong has
raised almost $100,000 USD for on-the-ground bird conservation,
while introducing listeners to some of the world’s most threatened
bird species through music. The project uses these incredible species
and incredible music to raise awareness about the plight of the natural world 1. Maracuya - Cuco Pico Gordo (Yosi Horikawa Remix) 05:09
