The EBU and the Berlin-based production company EuroArts have partnered to produce a unique documentary series called “Soundtrack Europe”. The series, blending travel, culture and musical performances, will see German soul singer-songwriter Joy Denalane travel to different regions of Europe in search of the continent’s musical essence as expressed through its folk music.
Europe comprises 60 countries, about 120 languages, 742 million inhabitants and uncountable variations of folk music. According to the EBU and EuroArts music in Europe has shaped the identities of generations, has offered young people an open space for experimentation, and is the safe keeper of the heritage as well as reflects the voices of the present. According to the EBU by travelling through musical regions that are, like the continent itself, unified through diversity, the series promises to get to the heard of the complex issue of European identity.
