Jubilee USA Network has launched Break the Chains! a musical mobilization campaign using the power of music to educate and mobilize both the faith community and the broader global justice movement to demand debt cancellation –– an end to this new global apartheid. The Break the Chains! album features 19 songs that speak to the cause composed by artists from around the world. This exclusive compilation includes songs that have never been released in the USA and others previously released in limited special editions or 8" vinyl. There are up–and–coming bands and legendary artists known world–wide. The extensive 24–page booklet features essays, poetry and photos about debt cancellation and includes contributions from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and South African poet and anti–apartheid activist Dennis Brutus. All proceeds benefit the Break the Chains! mobilization campaign.
A compilation album of cultural ambassadors from 18 countries, "And if the World..." presents joyous, creative expression intrinsic to the medium music. Top–artists of their respective countries – such as Ayub Ogada (Kenya), Annbjorg Lien (Norway), Terem Quartet (Russia), Vladimir Dessenikov (Ukraine) Guo Yue (China), Luisa Cottifogli (Italy), Flook (Ireland), Laura Love (USA) – represent their communities and sing for the Earth.
