Grammy Award Winners Ricky Kej & Wouter Kellerman perform their latest collaboration 'Samsara' exclusively for the President of India.
This song was first presented at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, by the Prime Minister of India, President of France in the presence of one of the largest gatherings of World Leaders.
All of creation is one heart. Mankind has grown selfish and is now biting the very hand that feeds it. Only a complete acknowledgement of our oneness can show us the road home to balance. This song is the voice of our Mother, represented by different lineages of culture, calling on her children to change their ways.
