The new single ‘Touch the Ground,’ is a call to action for Caribbean people and the world to find ways to protect the world’s soil from further degradation.

In addition to this global performance at MahaShivRatri tomorrow, Montano will collaborate with the students of the Isha Home School in a musical performance on March 5th, to raise awareness of the Save Soil movement. The performance will take place on Montano’s Instagram Live at 8:30 am AST / 6:00 pm IST.

The visits will form part of a global tour led by Sadhguru to launch Save Soil.

“No matter how much wealth, education, and money we have, our children cannot live well unless we restore the soil and water. Conscious Planet, the only way forward.” – Sadhguru

    Love the rhythm, body movement and mainly the intention regarding touching the earth, soil or ground. Trust this gets a big break through regarding all the effort of all involved both living and deceased.
