Oscar Winner A.R. Rahman this past week teamed with a variety of musicians and artists for the first of several recording sessions planned around the world in the next month for an amazing new song called “Hands Around the World” in the spirit of the global hit “We Are the World.”
The song lyrics were written by Stephen Schwartz and the “Hands Around the World” music team. The piece began recording this past week at composer Nathan Barr’s Bandrika Studios in Los Angeles. The song is to be the anthem for the www.hands.world project – a yearlong campaign to inspire 1 Billion+ people hold hands in a virtual selfie chain around the world for climate change. All funds raised will go to critical climate change projects to make real impact.
Featured vocalists and participants in the first session included Cody Simpson, Natasha Bedingfield, Major, Mary Mary and Tay Da Prince.
