Take a look, and let me know if any of the 5 is amongst your favorites. Or, let us know if you have a favorite that isn’t on the list. I’d love to check it out.


1. The Peace Song
A MASSIVE SONG FOR PEACE IN NIGERIA. Song features a Nigerian All-Star ensemble. Song is part of the Neighbour 2 Neighbour Peace Project album. My Nigerian friend said that because of the religions and politic issues, Nigerian is haunted by the fear of the war. Therefore, this song is for stopping it.  

2. We Want Peace - Emmanuel Jal
Emmanuel Jal's call for Peace in Sudan and the whole world. The reason this song is appealing to many people is that he was a child soldier. Emmanuel Jal enlists support from A-listers from all walks of life in this groundbreaking music video It features Alicia Keys, George Clooney, Peter Gabriel, The Elders (Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter, Sir Richard Branson, Fernando H Cardoso).

3.One for All and All for One(하나되어)- 22 famous Korean singers
In 1999 to overcome the IMF financial crisis, all-stars of Korea were participated in this project. At that time, All Korea people have gone through hard time and tried to get over. One of the efforts was Gold-Collection Movement. This Movement was the very spiritual base on which the whole Korean people could be united once again in the form of “Gold-Collection Movement” http://youtu.be/z8rRwQ4UxQo

4. Ebony And Ivory - Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder  (Live at the White House 2010)
 At the simplest level, the song is about the ebony(black) and ivory(white) keys on a piano, but also deals with integration and racial harmony on a deeper level. In those days it was brilliant Paul McCartney of white and Stevie Wonder representative of black are singing together. ‘Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony.’ Because of the message in this famous chorus, perhaps we could live together in harmony.

5. Casualties Of Stopping War - Jay Chou
In 2004, this song received attention from people because of the war has had a high profile at that time. The background of the song is Russia has gone through the war. In the song, It contains the emotion of sorrow of children have gone through the war and ideology against the war of singer. Impressive scene of the music video is the eyes of children what expressed the fear of children about war. Purpose of the song is urging an end to the war.

Singers can give a message to many people and make some movement through song. MANNAM want to give a message and expect to make good movement through voluntary service. Like singers, wish of MANNAM is not different. MANNAM will sing about world peace until it happened in the world. .
