A musical front has rolled into Salmon Arm calling for rain in light of the devastating wildfires in the Shuswap.
Through an Aug. 20 reel posted on Facebook, the Downtown Salmon Arm Farmers Marketѻýs Serena Caner asks the public to join in with rallying ѻýcollective positive energyѻý through song to bring needed rain. In a separate video, Caner and company kick things off with a plea for precipitation shared through a take on Bedouin Soundclashѻýs ѻýWhen the Night Feels My Song.ѻý
Caner asked that people post their own songs on Facebook and Instagram with the hashtag ѻýmakeitrainshuswap.ѻý Rain songs, she said, can be anything from a drumming or religious number to a dance.
Not long after the first video, several were submitted to further amplify the call for rain.
While the area saw some rain, accompanied by lightning, on Monday evening (Aug. 21), Caner was hoping for a downpour to help battle the local wildfires that have forced evacuation orders in the region.
