MasterPeace in Concert - "Music above Fighting"

On September 21, 2014, MasterPeace celebrated the UN International Day of Peace with 55 events in 42 countries, including many in conflict areas. At the heart of these MasterPeace celebrations, a heartwarming concert took place in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) bringing top artists from (former) conflict areas together on one stage, supported by the renowned Metropole Orkest, Oleta Adams, Baaba Maal and Dutch top artist VanVelzen. The show was directed by Leoni Jansen.

The concert focused the world’s attention on the universal longing for a sustainable world, free of armed conflict. To fuel dialogue and celebrate diversity. All artists supported this call with a truly mesmerizing show. Including these amazing artists from Myanmar (Burma).

In 2002 Phyu Phyu released her first independent music album. While the Burmese youth embraced her voice and style, it provoked controversy among the Burmese censorship machine. Her album was banned from airing on state owned TV-channels because of her unusual style of singing. Her latest album is the country’s top selling album since its release in 2012 up until now.

L Lun Wah was born in Lazum Lung Wah in Myitkyina, Kachin State, where his family was directly affected by the so called Kachin Conflict. Despite the conflict, L Lun Wah got the opportunity to release his first album in 2003. Consequently he toured all around Myanmar, USA, Australia, Korea, Japan and more countries and was asked to feature on many other artists’ albums. Currently L Lun Wah is an active member of a non-governmental organization that helps people who are affected by the on-going conflicts in Kachin State.

MasterPeace is a global grassroots movement that inspires everyone to use their talent and energy for peace building and togetherness. With music, art, sport and dialogue MasterPeace teams in 42 countries focus on disarmament and the prevention of new armed conflict.

MasterPeace will mobilize millions of people worldwide to take actions for peace. MasterPeace Clubs are present in more than forty countries including current and former conflict areas such as Afghanistan, Columbia, Sierra Leone and Nepal.
