Serenade! Spotlight for World Refugee Day
PIHCINTU
All-Girl, All-Refugee Chorus
|
|
The Passamaquoddy American Indian/First Nations tribe of Maine and New Brunswick, Canada have a great word: “pihcintu.” Roughly translated, that word means “when she sings, her voice carries far,” and that’s precisely why award-winning songwriter and producer Con Fullam chose it as the name for Portland, Maine's choir of immigrant girls from around the globe.

|
Hailing everywhere from the British West Indies, Burundi, Cambodia, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Lebanon, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Uganda, Vietnam and Zambia to Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, Pihcintu helps to restart these young girls' lives.
