Amazônia (album)
Amazônia is the twenty-first studio album by French musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released on 9 April 2021 by Columbia Records. Background. The album serves as the 52-minute musical score for the exhibition "Amazônia", a project by photographer and filmmaker Sebastião Salgado presented from May to October 2021 in the Paris Philharmonic complex. The exhibition focuses on the Brazilian Amazon, featuring more than 200 photographs and other media by Salgado. As well as a standard stereo version released on CD and LP, a binaural version and a 5.1 surround sound version were made available. Jarre  made use of recordings made among various Indigenous peoples of the Amazon rainforest by Gustav Verswijver, Daniel Schoepf, Franz Treichler, Bernd Brabec de Mori, Louis Fernandez, George Love, René Fuerst, Xavier Bellenger, Denis Vanzetto, Jean-Michel Beaudet, Hervé Rivière, Philippe Luzuy, Simone Dreyfus-Roche, Matthias Lewy, Pierre Salivas. A remark in the CD booklet/on the LP cover states that a part of the royalties will be returned to the Indigenous communities where the recordings were made. It is however unclear how this will be achieved.
