Rainforest Single Release

admin June 21, 2013 All, Lyrics, Releases

The song Rainforest, also known by the names of Raining Forest or Jangale Barani, was released yesterday. It has become a favourite track with many people after a live performance on BBC TV (2009). Due to high demand, it’s been chosen as the debut single before the new album release.

Rainforest emphasises the problem of deforestation of tropical forests around the World. All the facts say that we are losing vast tracts of one of the Earth’s greatest biological treasures. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth’s land surface; now they cover a mere 6%. If deforestation continues at its current rates, scientists estimate nearly 80 to 90% of tropical rainforest ecosystems will have been destroyed by the year 2020.
