Guilain Joncheray on Environmentalism...

In French "sea" and "mother" are phonetically identical. But the similarity between these two words is not only auditory but symbolic: these are two things which gave birth to humanity...
My musical universe expressed by this new record offers its environmental stance.
For me Environmentalism will succeed if the young generations are educated and transmit their knowledge to their children.
Imagine Environmentalism as a full academic discipline...Why are too many parents still careless and not teaching their children how to help our planet, our oceans with small and simple actions?
I ask to all politicians to continue writing their notes on this music score!
I congratulate all associations, NGO's and other groups that fight daily for our seas' survival!
And I ask you not to forget that Water is Life (as the Tuareg proverb says: "Amane Imane")
