“We’re bringing a message to the world in celebration of the human rights instrument, the “Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples,” because music does make a difference.”
- Tonya Gonnella Frichner, North American Regional Representative to the United Nations Permanent Forum On Indigenous Issues
“The guitar, vocals and songs of Robby Romero boasts a powerful vocal style that treat sensitive matters of spirituality with firm certainty.”
- Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle
“Your musical talent and leadership in the Native American community will undoubtedly help commemorate the United Nations adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples for years to come. It was very thoughtful of you to include me in the celebration of this historic occasion.”
- Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House
“Painting The World” celebrates the historical adoption of the United Nations’ “Declaration on The Rights of Indigenous Peoples”, a declaration that underwent the longest period of debate and negotiation of any other international human rights instrument in United Nations history. Featuring Indigenous artists from around the world, this new limited edition release bridges the gap between Indigenous Peoples, human rights, and the environment.
