Rise'n'Shine Mwanza
Rise'n'Shine - Our World - Our House
With Dr. Anne-Christina Achterberg-Boness, employee in the East of Lake Victoria Diocese in Tanzania and at the same time singer of the Tanzanian band "Rise'n'Shine", the idea and the request came to the Infodesk on Climate Justice: The production of a joint climate song to point out the fatal effects of the climate crisis on both countries, Tanzania and Germany, as well as the urgency of joint action. In recent years, the afro-reggae band Rise'n'Shine, which is well-known in Tanzania, has already gone on tour with songs to raise awareness, including the subject of cancer prevention. The new song project "Our World – Our House" focuses on the concern for our "common house". The special feature of this music project: The lyrics, the choral passages, as well as the ideas for the music video were developed from the beginning in Tanzanian-German cooperation. Former volunteers from the volunteer program of the Center for Mission and Ecumenism under the direction of the Infodesk on Climate Justice also participated and coordinated the project. With its positive message, it is intended to spread hope and encourage people to act together and across national borders to act for climate justice.
