Description
“Make Music Matter, an NGO that uses the creative process as a therapeutic tool to help empower marginalised individuals and communities, works in countries that have been deeply scarred by conflict, HIV/AIDS, and violence against women. Music has always helped people around the world to overcome hardship by providing comfort and consolation, and by helping them to directly address the most divisive issues their communities face. Their Healing in Harmony music therapy programme is a project that helps survivors recover from traumatic past experiences through music.
In 2018, SEMA members wrote and recorded the song ‘Little Bird’, which has become SEMA’s anthem. They have performed it live at public events in Geneva and The Hague, and with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra.
Produced by: Darcy Ataman, Sven Figee & Georges Mupemba “Jojo”, Hervé Wala & Maud-Salomé Cadiere Ekila; Mixed by: Sven Figee; Mastering: Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel Mastering”
