Music for a cause is nothing new but music solely devoted to animals does

seem novel. Maria Daines, a British singer and songwriter has just released

a CD entitled, *Music United for Animals,* that is aimed towards the cause

of animal rights and welfare. Says Maria, " As a child I had many pets and my

mother taught me how to respect animals. "

 

Indeed, her album espouses the cause of animals in a medley of situations,

starting from dogs in Romania to the horses of the US. " I can think of no

better reason to create music and I would like to make a difference that I

can feel in my heart, and share with others, " remarks Maria.

 

The CD features 13 songs, all of which are thoroughly enjoyable. The best

song of the album is the ballad, *I am the owner of this coat, *to make

people aware of the horror of the fur trade. Maria has also voiced her

concern for Indian animals. Recently, she wrote a song for a protest

concerning an elephant polo match organised in Jaipur. She has also

performed on BBC recently.

 

" Everywhere, the animals need a friend, " says Maria. The animals surely have

one in her. (The CD is available for order from her website: *
