This musical project was created to honor Tokitae, an orca captured from her home in the Puget Sound of Washinton State in 1970, who has remained in captivity at the Miami Seaquarium ever since.
May the music serve as an opportunity for Tokitae's voice to be heard and to remind us humans that we have choices.
There comes a time when the choices we have made in the past no longer serve the present or the future.
What are our choices now, regarding these intelligent creatures who serve us, by remaining in captivity for a lifetime?
I believe the time has come to choose freedom.
By choosing freedom for Tokitae, we are choosing freedom from and for ourselves
