We love Oxfam America and the great work that they do. Today, marks the world premiere of a new collaboration for them with Peter Gabriel.
According to Bob Ferguson, Oxfam America’s music artist relations coordinator, “Oxfam America has built some fantastic partnerships and alliances with other organizations that also use music as a tool of social change. One of those organizations is The Voice Project.
The Voice Project is a song-driven movement inspired by the women of Uganda who are using their voices as vehicles for change in the war-ravaged region of Northern Uganda, Southern Sudan, and Eastern Congo, an area that has been marred by violence for the last 24 years. The Voice Project is an attempt to support these incredible women and the peace movement in the region, and an effort to see how far a voice can carry.
Today, Oxfam is proud to join The Voice Project partners Invisible Children, Resolve Uganda, Witness, and HOPE Campaign, in premiering the new video of Peter Gabriel covering Tom Waits’ classic song, “In The Neighborhood.””
