"We Hear Your Voice" to Bridge the Divide between Nations

Charity single brings together some of the greatest voices in the world to promote humanity's common ground and an international children's charity

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A new musical project hopes to shine a light on humanity's commonalities by bringing together international superstars and major music industry professionals. Planned for an official release on March 12th, "We Hear Your Voice" is a charity single with a powerful message of peace, hope, and unity. Written and produced by recording artist Shani Rigsbee, the single will be internationally released through Cherokee Music Group.

The message behind "We Hear Your Voice" is that nobody is voiceless and that humanity transcends politics and borders. If international recording artists and their fans and followers all unite behind this message, then the divide between nations can begin to be bridged. A short documentary will accompany the music video; it will feature footage of the artists' recording sessions as well as interviews describing their feelings about the venture.

The song, "We Hear Your Voice," first made its debut in front of thousands at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles to a standing ovation. Soon after, the artists were invited to perform the song for His Holiness the Dalai Lama in a major peace concert with some of the world's biggest names.

In addition to spreading its message through the international language of music, the song will have a tangible effect on children's lives all around the world. All net proceeds from digital downloads through Cherokee's distribution partners will be donated to an international charity focused on improving children's welfare.
