Staunch Moderates is more of an intellectual movement than a musical collective, but music is certainly a very important part of their ethos. Founded in Aspen by long term friends Greg Simmons and Bo Persiko, their mission is one to address the deepening political divisiveness in society, and to promote open and unbiased discussions on the most pressing issues of our time. Not supporters of any particular political party, candidate, or specific issue, but rather, they offer a platform for balanced, civil discourse, and foster thoughtful conversations, building bridges between differing viewpoints and pave the way for collective solutions.
Music is a very big part of Staunch Moderates, and their new single, ‘Méditerranée’, is both energetic and culturally rich, featuring GTS, DJ Staunch, and Casanova Ace, and serves as a celebration of the diverse countries and vibrant cultures surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.
The listener is taken on a musical journey across the Mediterranean, from the shores of Southern Europe,. across the top of North Africa, and over to the Middle East, all the while blending the rhythmic beats and unique vocals of each region, and highlighting their traditions, histories, and landscapes.
The music video which accompanies the track invites viewers to experience the beauty and diversity of the region, as if at first hand. The clip features sweeping shots of landscapes, while glimpsing at everyday life in various Mediterranean countries, serving as a visual ode to this culturally rich and geographically stunning part of the world.
