Immigrant songs
For centuries people have been moving from one country to the next. These migrants do not only bring songs from their home country because the journey alone also inspirers to make new songs. In this hour fifteen ‘immigrant songs’ that tell the story of the emigrant. The songs are about hope, homesickness, setbacks and acceptance. Really just like life itself.
