Coming from a disadvantaged place in society and a world where various forms of oppression are a daily occurrence, alone we eventually lose the strength to continue fighting against our oppressors. 'RISE' is an anthem to fuel and give strength to anyone losing hope in the fight for positive change in society and the world at large. We can only do so much alone, but together we garner the strength, encouragement, and motivation to RISE above our oppressors and beyond.

Winning song by Angélique Kidjo
Judging Statement
“To all the Beyond Music artists, I want to congratulate you for producing so much beautiful music. All of you were great, no question about it. But I had to make a choice, and my choice is ‘Chica de favela’. It is a song about girl empowerment, women empowerment. We need women to be seen, to be visible, and to be part of leadership in the world. We make up more than half of the population of this planet. We are not only mothers; we are entrepreneurs, and we can stand alone. I love that song because it is a song about women’s freedom. It’s about a woman who is ready to have the future she wants without the support of sugar daddies. So that is what I want people to understand: that women can stand by themselves. And we need partnership in this.” - Angélique Kidjo
We sincerely congratulate the winners! You will be invited to Paris, France, for four days, where you will record your song with Angélique Kidjo, under the direction of multi Grammy Award-winning producer David Donatien, at the renowned Studios Ferber. A music video will also be produced.

We have come a long way, We can't afford to go the wrong way. This collaboration communicates the message of unity and the price the people before us have had to pay for us to get to where we are today. When we hear rumours of war we often don't take it seriously because we've enjoyed lasting peace it's almost as if we don't comprehend the price our predecessors paid dearly for this chaotic, not perfect but still peace. As of today, there are so many policies that we all can benefit from if we focus on what is important - The People.

Winning song by Wiyaala & Dodo
Judging Statement
“It has not been easy, but in the end, I chose ‘Get Wise’ because the message is universal. Whatever we do, let’s get wise and not be played by anyone, whether in our communities, on our continents, or in our countries. There are many issues we need to wake up to and get wise about. We must be aware of what is happening around us and not just follow the crowd. Just because everybody is doing it, we shouldn't. We need to ask the right questions and look for the right solutions. Everybody must get wiser. We need wise people, especially our leaders who serve us. Go out there and do the right thing wisely!” – Wiyaala
“We spent days and weeks listening to everything, discussing the songs, and making a decision. The quality was enormous. We can hardly wait to produce the song with the musicians and composers in my studio in Zurich.” – Dodo
We are thrilled for the winners and extend our sincere congratulations! They will be invited to Zurich, Switzerland, for four days to record their song with both and film the music video.

The song sheds light on a significant and pressing social issue in our communities: sexual assault and rape. The topic is approached through storytelling, focusing on a child's journey after being sexually abused by a guardian and then expelled from home. These cases are common in our communities, especially in rural areas, and often go unreported due to a lack of advocacy. The song uses its narrative to provoke empathy in the listener, urging them to become advocates for change. Together, it says no to rape and child marriages. Let us create a safer world.

"'Domino' is a cool groove, an electronic fusion that blends acoustic and electronic instruments, with a saxophone adding a soul/jazz vibe. The overall sound creates a modern, danceable beat—the kind of song you could easily dance to in a sophisticated nightclub.

The lyrics, “It all begins when we break / From all we know and let fall like dominos,” encourage us to initiate change by stepping away from the familiar. "Domino" prompts listeners to take an active role in their lives (“Got to play a role, here we go”), emphasizing the importance of participation and choice (“You either take or let it go”)." - Wiyaala

"'Dancing for Justice' succeeds compositionally because the music resonates with the lyrical themes of freedom and unity.

The song speaks to the human spirit’s desire to navigate through life (“eu vou navegar”) and to find joy even amidst challenges (“encontrar a dança no olho da tempestade”). "Dancing for Justice" also touches on social themes, urging us to refrain from prejudice and to respect individual freedom (“o corpo é dela, ela é livre”).
