Music for a Better World
My husband, David, produced the 30-song, 2-disc compilation CD "Music for a Better World," featuring songs by grammy-award winners and nominees, Chaka Khan, David Pomeranz, and Harriet Schock. Also featured were the Agape International Choir and human rights activist, Andrik.
I assisted him with promotion, song selection (and order), and overall administration of the project.
I also created the website for Peace Sunday, which sponsored the event where the CD was released.
Our friend, Moses Avalon, well known for his work in improving the rights of musical artists, donated his expertise to this project as well.
The press release: Music For A Better World CD released at Peace Sunday MUSIC FOR A BETTER WORLD is a 2-CD compilation recording created by Artists For A Better World (AFABW) International and produced by David James. Peace Sunday was held in honor of all peace-loving people and was a call to come forth and uphold together our culture of peace. Over 2000 people from more than 100 different groups participated in this kaleidoscope of multi-cultural and multi-spiritual traditions, awakening our need to affirm our spiritual heritage, as well as addressing concerns of peace and justice in our world. Peace Sunday was produced by Stephen Longellow Fiske, in conjunction with the Unity-and-Diversity World Council. CD Producer, David James, presented a copy of MUSIC FOR A BETTER WORLD to Rickie Byars, one of 30 performers on the CD. (Photo above). Ms. Byars sings "Peace Chant" on the dual-CD recording.
