From Pease Park to Praia do Janga, discover the origins of the song "Ciranda," a folk song from the northeast of Brazil.

A 3,000 mile journey across Brazil in 2017 inspired the songs on Ley Line's sophomore album "We Saw Blue." Every song has a story. The song "Ciranda" was adapted from a Brazilian folk song written in 1973. In Episode 5 of Following Ley Line Emilie tells the story of how she managed to track down the songwriter of this traditional song.

"It’s an opportunity to share this traditional Ciranda with a wider audience by including this English part that comes from our own experience and our own hearts. I think that’s a really special thing that music can do—it's something that’s shared and always changing" ~Lydia
