A Song for the International Day of Friendship
un article par Christelle, World Academy of Arts, Literature and Media (WAALM)
The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011
by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship
between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can
inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.

The resolution (A/RES/65/275) places particular emphasis on
involving young people, as future leaders, in community
activities that include different cultures and promote
international understanding and respect for diversity.
The Day is also intended to support the goals and objectives
of the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of
Peace and the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and
Non-Violence for the Children of the World (2001-2010).
To mark the International Day of Friendship the UN
encourages governments, international organizations and civil
society groups to hold events, activities and initiatives that
contribute to the efforts of the international community
towards promoting a dialogue among civilizations, solidarity,
mutual understanding and reconciliation.
To celebrate this international day, The World Academy of
Arts, Literature and Media – WAALM, invited Canadian vocalist,
Krista Earle to lend her voice and talent to record an original
song in title of 'Oh You My Friend'.
The song is written by Dr. Mosi Dorbayani with a melody and
arrangement by Andysh. The song appreciates the role of
friends in our daily life and highlights the importance of
understanding between the two.
The song is composed for Rock and is recorded live by Asatid
Records.
"As an artist and performer I feel it is important to be a good
role model and set good examples and values while bring joy
through music. In my view raising awareness to issues in our
shared communities and voicing activities and charities close
to our heart are a responsible thing to do and I encourage my
peers to contribute to their societies, where and when needed.
For example, getting the message of 'Friendship', 'Human
values', 'Understanding', 'Dialogue', 'Kindness and care'
through to the world is among those important elements close
to my heart and I will do my best to voice such values through
my music." Krista Earle says.
The song will be available on 30th July for streaming and free
