Digna Huinink did a songwriting project with young people aged 15 to 20. The ten songs appeared on the album called Songs of Moria. Digna says: “In the songs you hear a broken heart, family they miss, and about the hard life of a refugee. But you also hear their talent and their wishes for the future.” The album is called Moria, after the camp where these young refugees are staying. It’s also the place where Digna wrote the songs together with the refugees.
