Angola Peace Song
Throughout the civil war in Angola there were UNITA musicians and Government musicians. For someone on one side to hum a song from the music of the other was sometimes seen as a sign of disloyalty. Today, there is new hope for peace in Angola, and popular musicians on both sides have come together to sing a song for peace. Over the years, this song has become an anthem for peace in Angola. Available in Portuguese. Produced 1997.

As Long as We Choose the Peaceful Road
Several well-known Indonesian artists supported by Common Ground Indonesia as a neutral party in the 2004 elections, launched the song “Asalkan Pilih Jalan Damai”.
