Leaders Of The World (The whistle song)

Jenerik Soulz is proud to participate in the Fair Play for Africa campaign by seeking to provide a unique and clear voice by calling out to all the leaders of the world and people of Africa to unite and work together in improving the quality of life for all. This quality of life touches on essentials such as access to quality health for friends and families and a transparency in issues such as HIV/AIDS. These very issues lie in parallel with what Jenerik Soulz as a young, vibrant band tries to combat through positive and easy-on-the-ear music.

The song composed by Jenerik Soulz, titled Leaders Of The World (The Whistle Song) is a song which tries to capture the optimism and positivity of the African people to celebrate the progress that has already been made as a continent. The whistle which is consistent throughout the song which blends immaculately with the melody plays out as a powerful metaphor to demand accountability and blow the whistle on under-performing African and international governments; who have promised to spend 15% of their budgets on health. The whistle also holds a more literal message as it represents the people and it is a clear reference to the biggest sporting event which is about to take place in Africa for the first time, the much anticipated Football World Cup.

The track is titled Leaders Of The World for the direct purpose of getting straight to the point and calling out to all leaders, African and other Continents, to keep their promises and work with the people on a grassroots level in partnership to do more and improve the quality of people’s lives. The whistle which is traditionally used as a communication tool transcends all boundaries of language and culture and can be used symbolically as a mechanism to blow out on governments who are not doing enough while at the same time blow in celebration of Africa as beautiful continent alive with possibility.

The key ingredient in the track is the positive elements around it; the vocals are concise and lucid in execution while capturing the core roots of Africa through the use of thumping African percussions. The baseline is thick with character and breathes an air of strength throughout the song. The layered melody whispers elegantly in a melancholic tone symbolizing the challenges Africa has faced over the years and those which are to come in the future. The drum pattern with a consistent 808 stamps a stern voice for Africa that it does not seek pity rather it seeks partnerships and good ideas. In its entirety the song captures the message of solidarity and humanity to work together under the banner of the Fair Play for Africa Campaign.
