Children of Earth

“NO GMO” by Children of Earth (Edit 1 initially released on the eve of the Global March against Monsanto, 25th May 2013) was made in Kwazulu Natal with some of South Africa’s & The UK’s Music Industry’s Heavyweights lending their voices, skills, talents and resources to unite towards a GMO Free Earth.

What started out as (what some may have perceived as) a crazy idea exactly one month before the Global March against Monsanto, succeeded in bringing together an extremely diverse blend of World Class artists, musicians and producers, who have collectively created a powerful message intended towards raising global awareness of the nature of the cataclysmic tipping point of ecological disaster, disease, sterility and death that is being created by Monsanto and similar companies.

“Children of Earth” are

Immense respect, gratitude and love to ALL the artists above, who had faith in this project and made it happen under extremely short notice and tight schedules, as well as everyone who has contributed, in any way shape or form, to help in the creation of this track.

Huge thanks and respect to Earthlife eThekwini, March against Monsanto and the many other initiatives that are continuously & tirelessly researching and shedding light on this subject and spreading the word. Without people like them a lot of people would remain ignorant of such matters.

Respect to all those who marched and to those who still will - please join the Global Boycott against Monsanto if you haven’t already. Grow your Own :)

We believe in the power of Music & Collective Intent to help raise global awareness.
