Shout SA is a movement that was started by South African musicians Danny K and Kabelo Mabalane after the murder of musician Lucky Dube. The video above features the cream of South African musicians as they band together to give South Africans a voice in the fight against crime. All South Africans have been touched by crime in some way and most know someone who has died as a result of crime, be it from an unlicensed vehicle skipping a red light or during a robbery or hijacking.
The cross genre interweavings – rock, soul, hip hop, jazz, and choral, are complimented by a truly outstanding design awareness. And the song in this context has discovered a powerful uniting theme – crime.

It's very inspiring to see people who fight together for a change. Most people in South Africa live in constant fear that they will be carjacked, robbed or even murdered. Just as thesong says, we can definitly do without guns, weapons and other things that can be used to hurt lifes. Everyone should be heard without needing to shout and no one should have to jump for joy, those things should be everyday privileges. It's movements like these that little by little are making a big change in the way our world is today.

ReplyDeleteThis is the cruel reality. Everyone dies, musicians, teachers, lawyers, nurses, doctors, poor, children .. It's sad as racism can reach very high levels of suffering. And really Bob Marley has reason, while people give more attention to the color of skin, the war will reaign and never the peace. But it's great to see that music can ease the pain.
Your religion, race, height, nationality, and even your gender are factors that most people make quick judgments about. Unfortunately, many of these judgments are based on biases and assumptions.
