Females Unite to #BringBackOurGirls...


13 of Afrobeats most prominent artists have come together to tell the Boko Haram in song that it is time to bring our girls back with the release of “Sisters Unite.”

Produced by May7ven and Mictizzlebeats, and recorded and mixed by Osiki (Triple O Produxtions) at Misco Studios, the song represents a unified front and makes clear that every profession in Africa and around the world, including recording artists, are going to keep applying pressure until the missing girls are returned.

With over 1500 people including children slaughtered by the terrorist group Boko Haram, the campaign to bring back the 250 missing children that we know about has extended beyond Africa to the rest of the world.  The unfortunate situation has touched millions around the world and highlighted a number of other issues affecting children and women in Africa and now 14 female African-America, Nigerian, Southern African and Sieraleonian artists are lending their voices to #BringBackOurGirls and female empowerment global campaign by releasing the track "Sisters Unite."

Singer May7ven called on Vicky Sola, Ezi Emela, Honey B, Ada Snoop, Amal Fashanu, Shiikane, Wayliah, Zafi B, Honey B, Mrs. Melody, SaFfi and Faye Roux and they answered.  "Very rare do women collaborate or come together in music and other industries" said May7ven "so I wanted to unite us and break boundaries with an all African female line up for a cause greater than ourselves."

The song represents female empowerment, hope and awareness; all of these women and more lobbyed the Nigerian Embassy at 10 Downing Street in London.
