Hotaru Koi (Japan) performed by Libana at Tibetan Children's Village (Dharamsala, India) 2011

Libana sang this well-known Japanese children's round about fireflies at a very special concert during our February 2011 tour of North India. We had the opportunity to sing for the Tibetan refugee children at their school (http://www.tcv.org.in/utcv.shtml) when we were in Dharamsala, home to a large community of Tibetans-in-exile, the Dalai Lama, and the Tibetan Government-in-Exile. Although the school was on vacation at that time, the children who were at our concert had no family in India to spend their vacation with. Recorded on Fire Within (http://libana.com/Libanamerchandise.htm#fire) and Turning (http://libana.com/Libanamerchandise.htm#turning)

"Come, firefly, come! Over there the water is nasty, over here the water is sweet!"
