The Album
The Key of Sea navigates its way through the various experiences and perspectives of refugees and migrants around the world. Ranging from the beautiful perspectives of Sarah Blasko collaborating with the incredible Sudanese voice of Ajak Kwai... to the passionate Greek songs of love and loss performed by Tim Rogers and his Greek "compania"... all the way to wild and complex Ethiopian rhythms of The Cat Empire collaborating with Anbessa Gebrehiwot. The collaborations are beautiful, fun and occasionally heart-breaking.
