Musica for Africa is an exciting new project that brings together people of different backgrounds, yet who share the same values of peace, love and freedom of religion, and express them through music. Drawing influences from Italy, the United States and Africa, it is a unique blend of genres ordinarily worlds apart.
Musica for Africa is a musical project created by Mariano Schiavolini, composer, music producer and member of the 70’s progressive rock group, Celeste.
He wanted to bring to life a series of songs, combining the styles of soul and spirituals with progressive rock. On March 31st the first three songs of this project are being released in online stores in homage to the victims and their families of the Garissa University College attack in Kenya on 2nd of April 2015, in which 148 students were killed and 79 were injured.
Songs include :
“Where Will it End” tells the story of the tragedy. It features Mermans Mosengo, of the international group Playing for Change, Thuthukani Cele, former keyboard player for Lucky Dube, and Johannesburg’s own Wits University Choir.
“Because You Are There” is a powerful spiritual sung by an ensemble of talented South African singers and the world-renowned Soweto Gospel Choir.
As a bonus, they have a second version of “Where Will it End”, sung by acclaimed New York City soul Artist, Clayton Bryant, and featuring the Soweto Choir.
A lot was accomplished in the past year, and this is only the beginning. Musica for Africa will continue to put out songs for all those who share our faith and love in the power of music.
