Featuring the soulful vocal talent of legendary South African singer Steve Kekana, the song was written by internationally acclaimed South African composer Terry Dempsey shortly before Dempsey’s tragic passing earlier this year.
At heart, this recording is also about honouring the wishes and memory of Dempsey. It resonates a passionate and universal appeal to protect the beauty of our planet and the natural resources at risk, particularly water that we depend on for daily survival.
''Keep Our World Alive'' is endorsed by Water Shortage South Africa NPC, an organisation established to raise awareness of water shortages in South Africa and to facilitate the resolution of this unsatisfactory state of affairs via multiple initiatives from grassroots to national levels.
The "Keep Our World Alive” single will be channelled to Water Shortage South Africa to assist with the important and valued work that they are doing for us all.
“Keep Our World Alive’’ was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Robin Hogarth.
