About the Album's Story
The album tells the story of a brave baby bird named Nali. Nali is an Arctic bird with a wing that isn't quite straight. She gets lost while flying from the North Pole to the South Pole.
On her journey, Nali meets many different animals. These animals live all over the world. She travels from the thick jungles of Uganda to the high mountains of Borneo. She also visits the dry deserts of Australia.
Dan Sultan wrote these stories with his friend, Rhys Graham. Their ideas came from a trip they took to Uganda and Kenya. They were working with a group called The Thin Green Line Foundation. This group helps people who protect wildlife. During their trip, Dan and Rhys got to see many baby animals up close. They noticed how funny and unique each animal was.
Dan Sultan said that making this album was a very rewarding experience. He enjoyed trying out many different music styles. This helped him show the stories of all the different animal characters. The album has all kinds of music, from calypso to honky-tonk and even songs with strings.
