There was a time when the sailors of the seas were some of the few that could hear the ghostly muted sounds of whale songs from the waters below their ships. In a new age we are able to digitally capture the serene beauty of the whale song through live recordings made in their natural habitats.
The Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) can be found in and around the Bay of Banderas off Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from November through April every year. While here they use the acoustic properties of the ocean basin to amplify their vocalizations.
Oceanologist Oscar Frey has been capturing the majesty of the Humpback whales’ songs for more than ten years. This compilation of his recordings represents some of the very best from his 2008 & 2009 whale watching seasons on Banderas Bay.
Proceeds of all Underwater Harmonies CD sales benefit Humpback whale and Kite Aerial Photography (KAP) research projects.
