“LADAMA takes on traditional genres with confidence and vigor without being constrained by their conventions. The result is a vivid montage of music of the Americas with irresistible spirit and universal appeal.”
— All Things Considered, NPR
Shika Shika presents A Guide to the Birdsong of Migration, a transnational project that brings together artists from across the Americas to explore themes of migration, belonging, and environmental justice through music and birdsong. Since launching in 2015, the series has raised over $100,000 for conservation organizations and reached millions of listeners worldwide. LADAMA contributes an original track inspired by the Cerulean Warbler (Reinita Andina), drawing parallels between the bird’s migratory journey and the band’s own cross-border identity, while highlighting the urgent threats facing migratory species and supporting conservation efforts throughout the region.
