About "One Song "
GRAMMY® Winner Darlene Koldenhoven sings with GRAMMY® Nominee Rocky Dawuni of Ghana on this song by GRAMMY® Winner Ricky Kej(Bangalore, India) and Rocky Dawuni. GRAMMY® Winner Wouter Kellerman (South Africa) on flute. Filmed at the Tamarind Gardens near Bangalore, India 2016.
Based on the Indian classical music Desh raag, One Song begins with just a simple melody sung by Charanraj accompanied by an Indian choir. Gradually, the music expands to include the sitar, bansuri, harmonium and S. African flute by Grammy® Winning Wouter Kellerman, mesmerizing vocals by Grammy® Winning songstress Darlene Koldenhoven, and a lush string orchestra. Bringing all these elements together is the warm, inviting voice of Grammy® nominated Ghanaian Reggae singer, Rocky Dawuni. While the musical elements may be complex, the song’s message is clear and simple: despite our differences, we are all just One Song and collectively responsible for our world.
