In this beautiful collaboration between two highly respected artists, soprano Majida El Roumi and the Griot (story teller) now Minister of Tourism & Culture in Senegal, Youssou N'Dour, our common humanity is celebrated. We are friends of this world. The message in the song is amplified by the intercontinental and interreligious aspect of the collaboration, Roumi a Lebanese Christian and Youssou a Senegalese Muslim.
