Becca joins the Global Goals Campaign

Top Selling Ghanaian musical artist, Becca, joined other top African artists in Rosebank, South Africa to record a song as part of efforts to raise awareness about the 17 sustainable goals by the United Nations.
The Global Goals campaign, which launches  this month, will release an All-African song, titled “Tell Everybody” with an aim to inspire young people to know their rights encompassed in the 17 goals and hold their governments accountable to their promises to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and climate change by 2030.
British film-maker and campaigner, Richard Curtis, who has dedicated his life to making the Millennium Development Goals famous around the world, is behind the Global Goals for Sustainable Development . The Global Goals will be signed by every leader in the world on 25 September at the UN in New York.
Award-winning producers Cobhams Asuquo (Nigeria), David KING David Muthami (Kenya) and Ellputo (Mozambique) collaborated on the track which was recorded by Becca, Mafikizolo, Wizkid, Yemi Alade, Toofan (Togo), Sauti Sol (Kenya) and Diamond in Johannesburg’s Jazzworx studio last week.
In order to ensure the song captured the voice of Africa’s Youth, the songwriters have decided to crowd-source two verses (French and English) for the song via a mobile phone competition, “Add Your Voice/Add Your Verse”, run by Every1 Mobile. During the two weeks that the competition ran, over 3000 people entered from 25 African countries.
