A beautiful project: A couple drove all over Europe to record 731 love songs

James Stenhouse and Gemma Paintin

A British couple traveled 30,000 kilometers around Europe in an old motorhome, recording love songs in their mobile studio for their Oh Europe project, Guardian reports. They recorded 731 love songs – Kiss song 'I Was Made for Lovin’ You' was sung by a seven-year-old Greek boy, a British man who only sings at karaoke made an exception for them, group of teenagers from Ivory Coast living in France sang in their native tongue... To date, the Action Hero couple have activated a network of 42 beacons to broadcast these love songs, positioned on borders and edge-spaces across the continent (you have to be there and have their app to listen to it), and Oh Europa’s website will be livestreaming all the songs from 10pm on 3 May to 6pm on 4 May.
