RHYTHMS OF MIGRATION follows a group of African youth migrants living in Sicily as they create a musical album about their migration experiences.


Working with producer Alex Polydoroff and migrant activist Ramzi Harrabi, their music touches on everything from their hopes for their new lives in Europe to the horrors they experienced as teenagers in war-torn Libya.


By producing the album "One Humanity" and performing in live concerts, they work to raise broader awareness of the global migratory crises, create cross-cultural conversations and understanding between the youth and their Sicilian neighbors, and provide an outlet to express their experiences and stories.
