Earth songs for a greener world

Many of you are familiar with Michael Jackson's epic single "Earth Song." The track sees the artist sending out a wakeup-call about the devastation of nature caused by mankind, from overexploitation of natural resources, to endless wars and to killing of animals.

The late musical genius wasn't the only one using the power of music to confront the climate crisis. More musicians worldwide are expressing their concerns about the pressing issues through their works. Composer Deng Weibiao is a leading figure of New Age Music in China.

Today he brings us several songs from his album "Rivers - Our Lifeblood," each portraying a famed river across the nation. It’s hoped that his music will raise awareness on environmental conservation and encourage more people to reduce their impact on the environment.
