Their repertoire spans popular jazz-inspired classics such as Gershwin’s Summertime and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee, alongside beloved contemporary tunes like Mancini’s Moon River and Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World.

La Marca envisions his work as a powerful medium to appreciate and marvel at the beauty of our planet. By intertwining music with evocative imagery, he seeks to evoke deep emotions and a sense of urgency, compelling audiences to reflect on the necessity of environmental conservation. Through this innovative fusion of art and advocacy, ‘Wonderful World’ aims to stir both admiration for our natural surroundings and a commitment to their protection.
