No matter, the genre or style – the subjects of peace, love and unity has always been an integral part of the international music scene. Teresa Jennings once wrote: “If I could write a magic song that everyone could sing, I would write of love, of hope and joy, and things that peace could bring. And when we sang my magic song, all hate and war would cease. If I could write a magic song, I’d write a song of peace.”
