Listen & Buy Here: New Album: We Can Be The Change Just like the rhythms and voices from Cuba, South Africa, Mexico and USA that swirl, meet, are influenced, and change from the musical encounters on this album, so do our human relationships. Featured Track this week is #5, the title track: We Can Be The Change featuring special guests Coro Orfeon from Cuba Music and lyrics by by Sharon Katz, Malcolm Nhleko and Nonhlanhla Wanda. This recording blends the rallying cry from our anti-Apartheid work in South Africa, our current Transcending Barriers project on the border between Mexico and the USA, and our 2019 tour in Cuba. It features the choral group Coro Orfeon, conducted by our dear friend and colleague Daria Abreu Feraud. Sharon wrote the original track for The Peace Train’s 2016 tour, “Putting the United Back in the USA.” It was the vision then, as it still is now, to communicate to the younger generation that we absolutely must commit ourselves to social justice. If we do not believe that things can change and act with conviction and commitment, then nothing will ever change. Sharon Katz & The Peace Train have been dedicated to the ending of violence and racism in society since we formed in 1992 in South Africa. A luta continua! (The struggle continues!)

Musicians: Sharon Katz – guitar &
