"Amazon - Tribe - Songs for Survival" is a double album released by Kensaltown Records in support of Survival International, the human rights organisation for tribal peoples. The themes of the album are life around the Amazon River and other remote tribal areas. These topics are covered in the Bruce Parry television series "Tribe" and "Amazon". The album was released digitally on 15 September 2008, which was also the debut of the "Amazon" series on BBC 2, and then on 13 October on CD [cite web |url=http://www.kensaltownrecords.com/survivalalbum.html |title=Bruce Parry presents "Amazon / Tribe Songs for Survival" |publisher=Kensaltown Records |accessdate=2008-08-25] . It is available on iTunes [cite web |url=http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=290741005&s=143444 |title="Songs for Survival" |publisher=iTunes |accessdate=2008-10-06] and is available on Play.com [cite web |url=http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/6375851/Bruce-Parry-Presents-Amazon-Tribe-Songs-For-Survival/Product.html |title="Songs for Survival" |publisher=Play.com |accessdate=2008-10-06] and Amazon.co.uk [cite web |url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bruce-Parry-Presents-Amazon-Tribe/dp/B001EDG2GS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1223291311&sr=8-1 |title="Songs for Survival" |publisher=Amazon.co.uk |accessdate=2008-10-06] .

Every track on the album is exclusive, and has been written especially for the project. The project was overseen by Molly Oldfield (daughter of musician Mike).

All the samples from all the tribes (taken from BBC's "Tribes") were sent to all the musicians involved on the project by Molly, and each one chose their favourite. The first track to be received was by Hot Chip. Mike Oldfield's "Song for Survival" was composed in 2007 and was the second track to be received for the project.
