The episode

The song

Every Navicula song has a cause. Their first one — the song that opens this series — was written to welcome Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior to Bali, the ship that has shown up for climate, deforestation, and ocean fights around the world for four decades.

In this opening episode, Navicula's vocalist and guitarist Robi walks through why the band writes what it writes: the environmental crises happening inside Indonesia's archipelago right now, and what pulls a band to stand with the people fighting back. It's both an introduction to the show and an origin story for everything that comes after.
