Marco Werman, of NPR’s “The World,” discusses Search for Common Ground’s efforts to improve lives and encourage peace in Angola through music. Angola solta a tua voz (Angola, lift up your voice), Search’s unique music project there, brings together artists from both sides of past conflicts to create peace songs, “fusing different styles from different parts of the country and fusing different generations of artists.” Angola solta a tua voz was recorded and produced entirely in Angola in anticipation of September’s upcoming parliamentary elections, the first since 1992. Listen to Werman’s story on Search’s work in Angola, in his words a “big musical hug” between different sides of conflict.
