“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” - Jimi Hendrix
It can be noted that many musicians have contributed to promoting it through their music and their commitment. Artists such as John Lennon and his iconic song “Imagine” called for a world without borders and conflicts.
Bob Marley used his music to convey messages of peace and unity, such as in Get Up, Stand Up.
Joan Baez is a civil rights activist who sang for justice and non-violence.
These musicians, among others, showed how music could idealise differences and inspire harmony between people, reminding us that music is a powerful tool that promotes peace.
Music plays an essential role in the quest for peace. It goes beyond linguistic and cultural boundaries, creating a harmony that unites individuals beyond their differences. It can inspire unity, solidarity and love, serving as a universal language to express our common aspirations for a peaceful world. ✌🏽
