In a heartwarming display of solidarity, musicians from China and the United States have come together to create a transcendent piece of music supporting China's fight against COVID-19. The collaborative music video, featuring the song "Love of the Angels – Carry on, Wuhan; Carry on China" composed by Los Angeles-based composer Benjamin Shirley, has garnered over four million views on the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board's social media page.
The initiative began when artists from Los Angeles reached out to teachers and students at the Central Conservatory of Music in China. Despite being separated by more than 10,000 kilometers, the musicians bridged the distance through their shared passion for music. Together, they performed the inspiring composition, conveying a message of hope and unity during challenging times.
"Music is the universal language of humankind," said one of the participating artists. "Through this collaboration, we wanted to show our support for China and contribute to the global fight against the pandemic."
The song not only highlights the resilience and spirit of the people of Wuhan and China but also underscores the power of cultural exchange in fostering international solidarity. As the world continues to grapple with the effects of the pandemic, such collaborations remind us of our shared humanity and the strength we find in unity.
