A Natural Version of Colombia’s National Anthem

Back in August, biologist Santiago Monroy and producer José Álvarez trekked through the Colombian forests with parabolic microphones, recorders, cameras and field gear. After a 600 mile journey, the duo was able to gather enough audio to recreate the Colombian national anthem with some of the oldest inhabitants of the country – birds. Smithsonian shares the details.

Months before Álvarez and Monroy found themselves traversing Colombia’s landscape, Sura, an insurance company sponsor of COP16, allied with McCann Colombia, an advertising agency, to create something meaningful for the summit. Sura and McCann were looking for an idea that would transcend COP16. They wanted to create something new that would show off the host country’s biodiversity.
