About us

THE SOLIDARITY EXPRESS

The Solidarity Express is a group of musicians collaborating to deliver a message of hope and unity to the world at large.

Music is a constant emotively evolving art that feeds the mind, heart and soul. It continues to play a key role in driving change and creating social cohesion and harmony. Music allows cross cultural collaboration and provides a voice for the powerless. The intention is to convey positive energy to a world in desperate need of healing and aims to spread a feel-good solidarity factor.

Following on from The Liberation Project and with the core group based in South Africa, this high energy, multi-genre’d and multi-cultural musical offering focuses on sending a positive message of reconciliation and goodwill with like-minded artists and nations around the world.
