About One World Beat
The concept is simple: United in One World
Beat!
One
World Beat is a non-profit organization that unites
people and musicians of all genres to unite and
convey a message of hope through their music.
Bands
from around the world perform gigs under the One
World Beat banner and use their place in the spotlight
to do more than just sing about changing the world
- they actually do it. By raising funds and awareness
for the One World Beat help projects they inspire
people and music fans to step out of the shade
and take action.
In
only three, the One World Beat community has grown
from a visionary idea to a network of people and
artists around the world.
"The
idea of giving musicians the possibility to be
part of a humanitarian project in a direct way
was a natural one to me," says Andy
A. Treichler, founder of One World Beat. "After
all, so much music is about changing the world,
about making it better. I see One World Beat as
a way to allow musicians like myself to do something
more than just sing about making a difference.
Now, we have an opportunity to actually do it."
Supported
by the United Nations Education Consortium Organization
(UNESCO), and artists such as Phil Collins, Mark
King, The Cardigans, Westlife, Paula Abdul and
hundreds more musicians, One World Beat has successfully
staged the Global Music Festival 2003, 2004 and
2005.
