Women from 195 countries break record for equality song
GENEVA, June 2 (Xinhua) -- The Frequency School set a new Guinness World Record for the most nationalities contributing vocals to a single musical recording, with the release of the song "195" on Monday, highlighting global unity and gender equality. The song "195" is the first in history to feature women from each of the 195 countries recognized by the United Nations. The number of contributors and their nationalities were officially verified by a Guinness World Records adjudicator. Co-founded by Grammy-nominated U.S. music producer Maejor and others at the international boarding school Aiglon College in Switzerland, the Frequency School premiered the musical piece during the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, from Jan. 20 to 24. Maejor described the record as a testament to the universal power of music. Using the sounds of birds and the heartbeat as instrumental elements, the track "195" features women from each nation saying the word "equality" in their national language or native tongue. Among the voices featured is Miriam Moriati, president of the Kiribati Rotaract Youth Club and a Women and Youth representative for Ocean Alliance for Resilience and Sustainability. "Being part of this initiative to support women on an international stage is an incredible honor," she said. Noting that Kiribati is a small island nation in the Pacific, where the highest point is just three meters above sea level, Moriati said, "Opportunities to represent our small country are rare, and I am grateful for this platform to amplify the voices of Kiribati women." Sawilanji Nachula, a middle school student representing Zambia, shared her determination to promote gender equality as she grows. China was represented by Joyce Peng Peng, the CEO of the Montreux Jazz Festival China, which is set to take place at the Suzhou Arts and Culture Center in Jiangsu Province from Oct. 24 to 26.
