A river that unites

The World

 If walls divide, rivers do, too. The Rio Grande marks part of the US border with Mexico. Now, move to South America and you’ll find the Rio Mira, a river that separates Colombia and Ecuador. It’s this area that’s influenced the band Rio Mira. Singer Karla Kanora comes from the Ecuadoran side.
