About
Global Peace Rhythms is a project that wishes to foster peace, unity, and understanding among all people on Earth. Music is the universal language of mankind and has always had the power of bringing people together across cultures and countries.
We will feature music and artists from all over the planet who are using their talents for positive social change and are inspiring other people to create a better world wherever they are.
Among our activities will be the production of a globally distributed video series interviewing artists from many different countries highlighting both their music and the world issues important to the artists. This series is meant to be both entertaining and informative.
Global Peace Rhythms invites everyone to join our efforts in creating goodwill and harmony among all people. Your participation as an artist, volunteer or contributor is very much appreciated.
Global Peace Rhythms is a project of Global Peace Media, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt, non-profit organization. It’s the creation of Azarra Anna, founder and director of Global Peace Media.
