Grita Tierra: Make some noise for the earth
We believe in the power of music to change minds. Let’s get ready to take action!
We are excited to invite you to the Grita Tierra launch - a project where the universal language of music is activated as an agent of change for climate action. Grita Tierra is a captivating song that aims to amplify the unheard voices of people and nature who are unfairly impacted by the consequences of climate change and environmental hazards brought forth by carbon emissions.

Our song “Grita Tierra” is the convergence of different music styles from all corners of the world. Catalina García (upper left corner) is the lead singer of the Grammy winner band Monsieur Periné from Colombia, Friar Sandesh Manuel (upper right corner) Franciscan friar, philosopher, musician and Youtuber from India located in Austria,Roco pachukote (Lower left corner) is a Mexican music icon of punk and alternative music and the lead singer of the influential rock band Maldita Vecindad, and Mercy Nyambura, Swinton Nkatha, Fariji Napa, & John Oriwo (Lower right corner) the talented musicians that form the choir led by Udulele John, a recognised musician from Kenia that also participated in our project Sounds from your Window.
Our world is diverse and so is our song “Grita Tierra”
The song is available on all music platforms on October 28.
The project is inspired by the actions of Pope Francis, his desire to democratise the message of integral ecology, and his call to all of us to take care of our common home. “Everyone’s talents and involvement are needed to redress the damage caused by human abuse of God’s creation” (14, Laudato Si).
Grita Tierra is the result of the alliance with the Franciscans General Office for Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation, the collaboration of the Humboldt Institute of Colombia, and the musical direction of Héctor Buitrago, Daniel Roa, and composer Sister Nidia Raquel Macías.
We thank Hempel Foundation for its sponsorship and continuous support.
