"Echoes of Gaia"
has been chosen as the theme song by United Nations' "GenevaWorld"
Recently, Natasha & Charlene received another award for the song
"Echoes of Gaia" as the song was included in the international
exhibition "191" which is touring all over 191 United Nations member
states, including Malta. Paintings made by children from all over
the world on the theme "Children's view of the world" are included
in this exhibition.
"We are thrilled by this experience. It is evident that Echoes of
Gaia's success has gone far beyond our shores and is now reaching
places which we were never thinking of such as this United Nations
event. Once again it proves what a powerful song "Echoes of Gaia"
was...and still is!", declared the girls.

The exhibition
shows how hundreds of children, in the universal language of
drawings, express a thirst for peace, security and recognition
through testimonies obtained in the field and outside traditional
circuits.
Natasha & Charlene's "Echoes of Gaia" is played for all the visitors
of this exhibition in the 191 countries where it is held. Visitors
are asked to show their views of the world keeping in mind the
lyrics of the song to guide them. The exhibition "191" is organised
by GenevaWorld in Switzerland.
Natasha & Charlene won the jury vote at the Malta Song for Europe
2006 with "Echoes of Gaia". They also won an International Song
Contest held in Belgium and placed 4th at the OGAE Second Chance
2006 with the same song. |
