Drowned Requiem

The refugee crisis filled Europe’s headlines for years, but people stopped paying attention in 2020. Still, people keep drowning every day. “Drowned Requiem” is an intriguing music video performed by underwater musicians Between Music to raise awareness and fund a rescue ship. Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”, the European Anthem, was recomposed as a requiem and played at the grave of thousands who drowned seeking help — at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.
