Mandoki Soulmates - Hungarian Pictures MUSIC IS THE GREATEST UNIFIER!


 

Music can be the best inoculation against the penetration of extremist ideas into the center of society and thus an important protective mechanism for democracy and our community of solidarity.


And Mandoki Soulmates' "Music is the Great Unifier" concert is online on @YouTube.

 

We now have the opportunity to make a constructive update to our socio-political model so that people are the focus again, mindfulness defeats indifference, and humanity reigns over greed.

 

Who, if not we musicians with our direct line to the audience, should re-ignite the light at the end of this pandemic tunnel and rebuild society?

Music is the greatest unifier! Bridging the gap around the world!
