Bua News reports that local musicians have united to record a special song which will bring South Africans together to help sooth the pain and suffering which has been caused by the brutal attacks on foreign nationals in the country. The song, Not in My Lifetime, will be released in coming weeks.

The message behind the song is that our time should not go down in history as another era of tragedy. It urges the youth to take a stand and ensure that the legacy they leave will be a proud, unified one.

"Musicians have the power to touch lives and change attitudes. Their music transcends borders and unites desperate people," says Siyabonga Metana, campaign coordinator. He said the ability of music to educate, inform and raise awareness was important.

Several artists and musicians from a broad spectrum of society recorded the song at Jazzworx Studio on Sunday. The artists included DJ Sbu Leope, HHP, Simphiwe Dana, Shugasmakx and Relo (from Skwatta Kamp), KB, Nthabi, Tuks, MXO, Teargas, Andile Carelse, Lungelo, Pro Kid, Tebza Kwela, Tumi and DJ Cleo.

Recently on Al Jazeera TV's One on One, Sudanese hip-hop singer and activist Emmanuel Jal was featured. Aged only seven, he became a child soldier sent from Sudan to fight in Ethiopia's brutal war. Through a lot of luck and determination, he managed to turn his life around, becoming one of Africa's hottest music stars.

Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus, is in the news again. After causing stirs on the music scene and political landscape with his Letter to parliament track, he has released a new political song called 'Da no' which means That day. After staying away from supporting various politicians in his previous tracks, 'Da no' is a song that supports the candidature of Nana Akuffo Addo, who is seeking to run for Ghana's presidency on the ticket of the incumbent New Patriotic Party. The congress takes place this weekend at the University of Ghana, Legon.

He also mentions Atta Mills (who he supports for the NDC slot), as well as Paa Kwesi Nduom and Badu Akosa (his favorites in the CPP). A-Plus released and launched this song on Adom FM saying that he took this project on because he believes Nana Akuffo Addo is the best man for the job amongst the NPP candidates, and he has been a mainstay in Ghana's politics, run for the position before, etc. He also took some swipes at other candidates, like Alan kyeremanteng aka Alan Cash saying that beauty does not equate politics and if it wasn't for the President Kuffour, some particular contestant would not have been a class prefect. (this contestant is believed to be Alan Cash)
The song uses a gospel song chorus and goes like - Da a, Nana bɛtu franka no, Ghana ani bɛgye; da no, Addo kuffour ani bɛgye, etc, etc (Addo Kuffour is also a contestant for the NPP candidacy.

They may go unnoticed as we jam to kwaito, soukouss, highlife and bongo flava, but the African Children's Choir is a strong presence whose mission we all need to be in support of. Made up of the most precious of faces and the most delicate of voices, the choir comprises of young African children aged between 7 and 11. Many of them have lost a parent or two to famine and disease, some are HIV positive orphans. They speak different languages and are from various countries around the continent, but they have united in one voice to represent and raise awareness to the issues concerning AIDS orphans from all over Africa. They were recently featured in the "Blood Diamond" movie's soundtrack. They have shared stages with personalities such as Miriam Makeba, Thandiswa Mazwai, Josh Groban, Wyclef Jean, Michael W. Smith to name a few, and have been successful in raising significant funds towards supporting and educating their brothers and sisters throughout the continent.
