HOLLYWOOD, CA, UNITED STATES, October 12, 2022

“Why Oh Why,” released today, by the “Artists for Global Unity,” is a collaborative multi-national music project and global movement created and co-written by Raffles van Exel with producing partners Narada Michael Walden, a multi-platinum Grammy and Emmy-winning producer, musician and recording artist and Emilio Estefan, a musician and producer who has won 19 Grammy Awards.

Artists for Global Unity features a group of 80 diverse children from across the Nation and some of the biggest artists in the music industry, CeeLo Green, French Montana, Fantasia, Kenny Lattimore, and Emily Estefan.

“The concept of the song, “Why Oh Why” has nothing to do with the Russia-Ukraine War. However, it has everything to do with the war,” said van Exel. “The song has nothing to do with gun violence, but it has everything to do with gun violence. The song has nothing to do with Roe vs. Wade, but it has everything to do with Roe vs. Wade. The song has nothing to do with bullying. However, it has everything to do with bullying.” The socially conscious song is a “call to action,” and relates to the human population. 

“My inspiration for the song was to address that the world in crisis and how it is affecting everyone. It is the cry of 50 children asking the world, “Why Oh Why can’t we get together?” said van Exel who is the lead songwriter. “Why Oh Why must we fight forever? Why Oh Why? Let’s give peace a chance right now.” This epic collaboration of producers and award-winning diverse artists have been recording in different studios around the country for the past several months.

“This musical call to action for world peace is a labor of love and a concept I created a few years ago,” said van Exel. “My good friend, Don C; business partner, philanthropist, Broadway Producer and Multi-Tony Winner Iris Smith, and Multi-Grammy Award Nominee French Montana are my co-writers.”

The song is available on all platforms. Proceeds of the sales of the song to benefit MusiCares, Doctors Without Borders and Save the Children.
