This week on Earth Eclectic: "Songs of the Great Mother" offers an hour of devotional music honoring the Living Earth as divine feminine — spanning Bulgarian wordless vocal, Swedish folk-rock, Norwegian pop, Lithuanian experimental jazz, Japanese ambient, and American choral music, anchored by a personal message from Swedish singer-songwriter Annika Fehling about the island walk that summoned her song into being.
This week on the Earth Eclectic Radio Hour, host Bart Everson presents “One Earth, Many Tongues: A GreenAccord Tribute,” a musical voyage around the world inspired by his recent attendance at an environmental journalism conference in Italy: the XVIIth International Forum for Information on the Safeguarding of Nature, organized by GreenAccord.
Earth Eclectic 0103 "Maybe the Birds Taught Us" soars through a global collection of avian-inspired music, from political elegies and indigenous invocations to natural field recordings and Renaissance madrigals. These songs and sounds reveal how birds have shaped human creativity across languages, cultures, and centuries as both teachers and fellow travelers.
Earth Eclectic 0101 "Songs of the Standing People" celebrates trees through diverse musical perspectives. We've got choral celebrations, folk narratives, experimental field recordings, and electronic meditations on crown shyness.
Earth Eclectic 0099 "Fresh Devotions" presents a global chorus of new ecospiritual music from early 2026: featuring choral celebrations, elemental invocations, cetacean collaborations, and forest meditations. Contemporary composers across continents channeling ancient reverence through modern expressions!
"Songs of Venezuela and Greenland" celebrates musical traditions from tropical rhythms and plains songs to Arctic rock and indigenous chants—showcasing the distinctive cultural identities of these geographically distant but spiritually sovereign lands.
"Hibiscus Harvest" gathers the season's freshest Earth-conscious music from across the globe—a vibrant bouquet of ecological voices blooming just as the crimson flowers yield their final autumn offerings.

Earth Eclectic 0077: "Songs of the Unknown Fabulous" invites listeners into a sonic wilderness where ecological anthems—from Reverend Billy's gospel-fueled Earthalujah to the timeless call of Gaia's Voice—blaze luminous paths through our planetary emergency.
