ABOUT
THV Emotive Music is the meeting place of a refugee memoir and the
music it inspired. The book From Shackle to Liberty follows a
journey from war and escape to a fragile, hard-won freedom. The
companion songs retell that journey in melody. While the full website
is being built, you can explore a preview chapter and listen to one
featured track below.
