French duo Giles & Diego have released a new dance song, “Oh, Environment,” that is also a powerful and compelling call for climate action.
Giles and Diego produce dance music to draw attention to the environmental challenges faced by communities like Nkuringo. They say their new song aims to become the catalyst for a movement and at the same time serve as the second chapter of their dance be happy PE.
Recorded in Nkuringo's lush landscapes, “Oh, Environment” is driven by contemporary electronic elements and sensual rhythms. The music video for the Afro-house anthem features the children of the Nkuringo Orphanage and Bright Future School in Uganda, whose voices add authenticity and urgency to the global message it contains.
“Collaborating with the children of Nkuringo was a very enriching experience,” said Diego. “Their voices and words are a reminder of the innocents we must protect from the ravages of climate change.”
To amplify the impact of 'Oh Environment', a new campaign called #ShareIfYouCare was launched to raise awareness about sustainable living and environmental conservation. The campaign extends its support to various projects in the Nkuringo area, spanning school improvements, green initiatives and community development programmes.
“This song is a fusion of African rhythms, soulful melodies and contemporary rhythms, symbolizing the global nature of the environmental crisis,” said Climate Actions Now and CAN Music founder Robert Stephenson in a press release. “Nkuringo's children, with their authentic and powerful expressions, add layers of purity and urgency to the message we must heed.”
Proceeds from “Oh, Environment” will directly benefit sustainable projects in the region, aligning with the ethos of Climate Actions Now and CAN Music. You can learn more about Giles & Diego's cause here.
