Music (and rhymes) in the pibinko.org network are not just a form of entertainment, but media to convey environmental and land planning issues (as the historical core of the network’s business), or any other content that we deem appropriate.
In time, activities have evolved, and will range from down-to-earth production of live shows to experimental interdisciplinary art-and-science frameworks, which are considered progressive by artists and educators.
