World Peace Music Chart
Our theme for this week is a very sensitive one that affects everyone of us,
no matter who and where we are.
There has been recent terrorist attacks in many areas of the world such as Nigeria, Mali, France, Lebanon and Syria.
We decided to turn the light of our music playlist towards World Peace Music in order to give the victims a new hope and to encourage people to show Love to them in this trying times.
Last week, the playlist focused on songs that can help you overcome fear.
Normally, in the last/fourth week of the month, we are usually unrestricted to genre and type of music. Therefore, we called it a mixed music playlist.
we present to you 5 great songs and a video focusing on World peace.
