ABOUT "TWENTY TEN IN AFRICA" The song “Twenty Ten in Africa” is driven by an electrifying African/Dance beat and moving bass vocals. It has a catchy melody, with lyrics which celebrate African football’s most highly regarded ambassador, Roger Milla; the song announces the Twenty Ten games in South Africa (which is first time ever the World Cup is held in Africa). The chorus of the song is: “Everybody stand up – it’s Twenty Ten in Africa / score goals dance Makossa, like Milla in Italia”… With “Twenty Ten” bringing the soccer-loving community to their feet, getting fans from Africa, The Middle East, South America, Europe, the US, etc. excited for the 2010 World Cup games in South Africa, maybe this song strikes just the right note.

What is a song from above?
it is a song that goes out and generates money, and uses it to buy the world a little more love
We aim to:
use songs, music, and performances, to uplift the spirits of people that one would consider less fortunate: people who may be poor, sick, dying...
And then to also use songs, music, and performances to have fun, release great work (the kind of work that has longevity, and connects with people), and entertain people.
To that effect, when we arrive in any country in the world, before we perform at our paid concerts (or do any press interviews or appearances), we will perform FREE concerts for the sick or disfigured, and we will perform FREE concerts for the old, as the first order of business.
We also give a notable percentage of everything we earn in profit, to support useful causes related to kids and families, around the world.

Why music:
Because music is the one thing any 2 people can have a favorable conversation about – an exciting conversation even. When I formed Songs From Above, and before then, I had always wanted to be part of the conversation – especially the conversation(s) where ideas are exchanged, and soon thereafter, action is taken on some of those ideas. - Yeah! J - that’s why music.
And also because… man, when’s the last time you went to a concert, and did not feel absolutely insanely happy, or inspired, or free?
We have previously worked on:
Kenya Stories, Africa Investment Horizon, and America's Hot Musician; they recently licensed our original music compositions.
