Music and migration: Two Nat Geo Explorers — Jahawi Bertolli (left) and Meklit Hadero (right) — work on the intersection of nature, migration, and music. “We have to be aware of our embeddedness in the natural world and not see ourselves as separate, as dominant, as better than,” Hadero tells Overheard, our weekly podcast. The jazz musician creates art by listening to nature and dissecting the rhythm of a place. Bertolli, a former DJ and wildlife cinematographer, draws his inspiration from adventure and ancient historical instruments. “As long as people see themselves outside of nature, we can’t find the solutions that will help us rebalance the world,” Bertolli said.
