This song was inspired by the death of anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko while in police custody, and the song’s relevance still holds true with the unfortunate police brutality that continues to take place in the USA, Nigeria and many places around the world. More than 25 musicians from seven countries join Gabriel for this global rendition to share a message of unity, peace, and hope, including Beninese vocalist and activist Angélique Kidjo, Silkroad’s Yo-Yo Ma, and bass legend Meshell Ndegeocello. The video was originally created for The Peace Through Music: A Global Event for Social Justice which took place in December 2020, and was hosted on the Playing for Change social media channels. The event was part of the activities to commemorate the United Nations 75th anniversary, and championed the full protection and promotion of human rights for all.
