Haile Selassie I and the vocals of Uwe Banton, Thuthukani Cele, Mikey General, Sylvia Tella, Micah Shemaiah, Jah Myhrakle It’s not just a song, it’s a statement! “MANKIND’S LAST HOPE“ by . Artists United is not just another song, it’s a statement! Furthermore it has a message headed by a movement which foundation was laid by His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I's arguebly most famous speech, held at the UN on October 4th, 1963, warning us “(…) Here in this assembly reposes the best, perhaps the last hope for the peaceful survival of mankind. (...)“. This same speech was used by Bob Marley for his famous 1976 song “War“ (“until the philosophy…“) which was released on his album “Rastaman Vibration“. Considering it’s date, 60 years ago, this bold statement, comes with a frighteningly precise correspondence to current events. Not just some artists united, it’s a movement! The inspiration for this song was born out the realisation of the absolute need to heed to such crucial warning. Initially, “Mankind’s Last Hope“ is the title of a book by Ras Elijah Tafari, explaining the consequently ultimate demand to “Reform the United Nations Now!“ Starting with the original audio recording of Haile Selassie I speech before the UN, the song then features vocals skills of the above named internationally acclaimed Reggae Artists Label: RUNN Music The song starts with the words of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I: “Mr. President, distinguished delegates. Twenty-seven years ago, as Emperor of Ethiopia I mounted the rostrum in Geneva Switzerland to address the League of Nations and appeal for relief from the destruction which had been unleashed against my defenseless nation by the fascist invaders. I spoke then both to and for the conscience of the world. My words went unheeded, but history testifies to the accuracy of the warning that I gave in 1936. Today I stand before the world organization which has succeeded to the mantle discarded by its discredited predecessor and in this body is enshrined the principle of collective security which was unsuccessfully invoked at Geneva. Here in this assembly reposes the best, perhaps the last hope for the peaceful survival of mankind.“ Uwe Banton: “Until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will;“ Thuthukani Cele: “Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven; Until sonke ma Afrika asimenisibindi umanqoba siyekukuqhaqhazela engathi sazalwa sifakwama chains ezandleni. Eyah, ho, Amagwala akafuneki“ Mikey General: “So when I listen King Selassie I speech, and I see how far mankind reach, they weren’t paying attention ‚cause we still don‘t have world peace; what about the UN charta that supposed to defend human rights? It leaves us with no option but to fight, but to fight!“ Sylvia Tella: “when all mankind have a woke in a higher conscious spirit self, we the people standing as one for all humanity; when all mankind have a woke in a higher conscious spirit self, we the people standing as one for all humanity, for all humanity; JAH true mercy guidance will set us free“ Micah Shemaiah: “so let me tell you ‚bout the mankind trod; remove the evil from your mind and return unto God, JAH Rastafari Almighty Haile Selassie I; so let me tell you bout the mankind trod; remove the evil from your mind and return unto God, JAH Rastafari Selassie I is the Almighty I, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah;“ Jah Myhrakle: “wooooeee - yeaaaaah - Holy I Selassie Qadamawi Gerimawi yeaaaawuuu It was no other Dan No Higher Dan Than the Most High Igziabeher who summons demons - chastisement! Yeah. Haile Selassie Qadamawi spoke unto the League, and yet they were disobedient. I see, it was the 30th of the 6 month in 1930. He spoke to them, yet they did not listen, and the repercussion was a Big Bang, and the ricochet was an explosion 1936 October Fort and up to present day Abba Kedus the Conquering Lion rule the Fort Lij Tafari, Lawi, Haile Selassie Qadamawi Essat Mebrak Way is the Law Way. Its true stick broke in their ears, and they never heard what he said. The prominent problem that faces humanity is the preservation of peace and the betterment of all living. And yet wars and rumors of war is still occupying the mind of men and governments_ When there is a need and a thirst for PEACE and JUSTICE. There where the bountiful beauty of PEACE is established poverty and need shall not sustain for the foundation of PEACE is betterment.“ Music produced by Uwe 'Banton‘ Schäfer, Martin Musch, Markus Dassmann.
