Peace

Cover of American Rhythms

In this song, hip-hop singer, humanitarian, motivational speaker and entrepreneur Chen Lo makes an appeal for peace in the world.  As is typical of many hip-hop/rap songs, this song not only criticizes and describes an unfortunate state of affairs, but also puts forward a call for change. As our world experiences wars, global warming, injustice, inequality and growing individualism, Chen Lo calls on all of us to stand together and build a world in which each person can have their peace of mind.

Chen Lo not only sings for change, but also puts it into practice himself: the singer is very much dedicated to community work and uses hip-hop as a means of educating young people in his native Brooklyn, New York. Chen Lo has also taken part in the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs program The Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad, performing in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
