The iconic humanitarian, Nobel peace prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu in the true spirit of Ubuntu delivers an incredible one take recording session with a co-production between the legendary Joe Arthur / Victor Masondo and James Stewart.
James Stewart co writer whose song got it all started, sent the original ‘chord progression and melody’ to his friend in New York , 11-time Emmy Award winner AJ Gundell, AJ sat up and listened. ‘Sounds like Gold to me,’ he said, and passed it on to Grammy Award winner Julie ‘From a distance’ Gold for some lyrics. And back to Gundell for a ‘middle bit’ and some ‘arrangement tweaks’. Between them, the Internet and a hot Cape Town/Manhattan line, they quickly had the makings of a very special song.

- Lifts us up
- Lead us back
- Back to Love
