2. THE Announces Nation Wide Concerts for Education
GREAT PLANET EARTH DEBATE
Puerto Rico, March 22, 2010.
THE GREAT PLANET EARTH DEBATE, a non-profit organization, has launched their project concerts throughout
the US. It consists of a 45 minute science multimedia rock show in surround sound where multiple screens
serve as a backdrop while displaying visuals with information and bullet points that flow in sync with live music.
The elements come together telling the story of the relationship between humans and the planet they inhabit
and how our modern behaviors are starting to alter the balances that allow for the conditions of our
comfortable existence.
With illustrated evidence of the changes that have slowly been taking place in the last decades and pertinent
scientific information the show manages to point towards a new hope, revealed through the possibilities that our
modern understanding and our new technologies offer and show ways to improve humanity's condition on earth.
Ignacio Pena, founder of THE GREAT PLANET EARTH DEBATE hopes to deliver education throughout the US
bringing this show to schools and universities. For more information on how you can support or partner please

3. IGNACIO PEÑA
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico,
Ignacio Peña got his B.A. in Music Production and Engineering at Berklee College of Music.
In 2001 Peña released his debut album, "El Mundo Al Revés" which earned him rave reviews
from the critics:
"Singer/songwriter Ignacio Peña's first outing, on Universal, is a lovely collection of pop tracks
that evoke everything from Eric Clapton to Oasis. Thanks to thoughtful, well-written lyrics that
never fall into triteness, this manages to be an album without a single throwaway track."
Billboard Magazine
After touring throughout Latin America and the U.S., sharing the stage with the likes of Roger
Waters, Eric Clapton, and Oasis, Peña reinvented himself by presenting his second album,
“Anormal”, with an audiovisual show entitled “Phono/Grafico” the likes of which had never
been seen in the Latin market. This opened up his possibilities as an artist and communicator
immediately putting him in a class all of his own as a multimedia creator and musician at the
forefront who also presented his music with visual ideas which he put together himself while
composing the music.

4. In 2005, Peña relocated with his band to Austin,Texas. It was there where he was
invited to perform at a secondary school event about climate change. This opportunity opened
up his eyes to the idea of merging his musical and visual artistic abilities to create
educational experiences that would serve as a tool to better get the message across to a
younger audience.
“THE GREAT PLANET EARTH DEBATE” is his work of the last 3 years. The music,
the editing, the story, the message, the information and the research all has been personally
put together by him creating an educational experience unlike any has ever
been seen.

natural laws that govern the world around us, and the power of human ingenuity
and invention.
