Love and respect!
New collab with big names
Experienced and highly-rated Namibian musicians Big Ben, Patrick Sikiliza, Dik Bones, and Riaan Smit collaborated on the song “Love & Respect”, which promotes positive masculinity.The song advocates the idea that men can and should be the source of love, respect, safety, and positive feelings rather than all the negativity in the media attributed to men. The song has an all-inclusive appeal and is written and performed in Oshiwambo, Nama, Otjiherero, Afrikaans, and English.
Every day the weak and defenceless are subjected to sexual abuse, killings, and torture in Namibia.
This song is the four male musicians' answer, lending their voices to the fight against violence, particularly gender-based violence.
The production of the song was sponsored by the Delegation of the European Union in Namibia.
The single will be distributed on major online music stores, local music streaming and download sites including radio stations.
A music video contest will be launched soon to encourage aspiring and established filmmakers to use visuals to support the song.
