Peter has teamed up with UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and Grammy award-winning musician Angelique Kidjo, to release “A Song For Everyone.” This uplifting and vibrant song, with lyrics in both English and Yoruba, speaks to the power of educating girls and the effect it can have on communities, countries and the world. Fans of Peter’s pop/rock and new age-influenced music can expect to be pleasantly surprised by the new dimension that Angelique’s signature worldly sound brings to the single.
100% of proceeds from the sale of this song will benefit Angelique’s organization, the Batonga Foundation, whose mission is to give girls a secondary school and higher education so they can take leadership roles in Africa. They are doing this by granting scholarships, building secondary schools, increasing enrollment, improving teaching standards, providing school supplies, supporting mentor programs, exploring alternative education models, and advocating for community awareness of the value of education for girls by addressing gender prejudice.
You can help in their mission by purchasing the song, sending it as a gift*, or donating directly to the organization. Visit the Batonga Foundation to donate.
