The Wailers ADD

One World, One Prayer - The Wailers Team Up With Skip Marley, Shaggy, Farruko & Cedella Marley

05/22/2020 by Press Release

The iconic and legendary band The Wailers just released their new song One World, One Prayer today, a powerful piece focused on unity, love and inclusion beyond cultural differences.

The track, which puts every music lover on the lookout, demands the union of "one world" through "a prayer" in the current global situation, in collaboration with the international titan Farruko, the Jamaican superstar Shaggy and continuing the legacy of Bob Marley alongside Cedella Marley and her son Skip Marley, who recently had chart topping hits with Katy Perry & H.E.R.

Produced & Written by 19x Grammy winner Emilio Estefan and recorded at Crescent Moon Studios in Miami, FL, One World, One Prayer mixes Jamaican reggae with the sounds of the urban Latin genre.

"When I wrote the song about 2 years ago, I wrote it thinking about how we, as human beings, have to love each other more, be kinder to each other and to nature," said Emilio Estefan, who also reaffirmed that we need a world with less separation of race, religion and politics.

"Who would have thought that we would be living this current situation and that the message of One World, One Prayer would resonate so strongly? We need to appreciate the simple things in life and especially the love that begins with our families and extends to our community and beyond ... because in the end we are all One World, One Heart!” added Estefan.

Bob Marley and the Wailers made history together between 1972 and 1981. It was Bob Marley himself who asked the Wailers to stay together. Aston Barrett Jr, son of Aston "Familyman" Barrett (bassist for Bob Marley & The Wailers), is the one in charge of keeping the flame of the band alive. And so he has! The Wailers have been touring the world far and wide, keeping an impressive agenda of over 150 shows a year.

"The music of the Wailers represents peace, love and unity. That is what I want to keep alive," said Barrett, and that is precisely the powerful message that starting today, can be heard on all digital platforms through One World, One Prayer, the exciting new single from the forthcoming album releasing august 2020, produced entirely by Emilio Estefan. 

LYRICS - ONE WORLD, ONE PRAYER [VIDEO BELOW]
One world, one prayer
It doesn't matter what you believe Some things have to change
One world, one prayer
Give me, give me, give me some love Forget about the hate
When you wake up you look, look yourself in the mirror 
Doesn't matter who are you or where you come from Man or woman don't worry don't fear
Full of surprises life can change in a minute 
Give a hug give a kiss to the one that you love 'Cause the world turns one way, just one way
Why people see what they want to see Why people hear what they want to hear 
Why people feel what they want to feel The blue sky covers us like a single skin
Why people see what they want to see Why people hear what they want to hear 
Why people feel what they want to feel The blue sky covers us like a skin
One world, one prayer
It doesn't matter what you believe Some things have to change
One world, one prayer
Give me, give me, give me some love And forget about the hate

Farruko
One world, un solo corazon
One prayer, una sola nacion
It doesn't matter what you believe Some things have to change
One world, .....
One prayer, .....
Give me, give me, give me some love And forget about the hate
One world, Bailalo bailalo
One prayer, Gozalo, gozalo
No existe raza, tampoco color
Aqui somos uno, solo somos una nacion

Shaggy
One world, Bailalo bailalo
One prayer,, I tell you what!
We need that prayer
Give me, give me, give me some love It’s Just Love Now
And forget about the hate No More Hate Now
Don’t you hate now!
