Earlier this year, Artwatch Africa, an arm of the pan-continental body, Arterial Network, launched the Ambassadors for Creative Expressions project, aimed at canvassing for freedom of artistic rights and creative expression.

The launch was held through a two-day workshop in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso, in the course of the 24th Pan-African Cinema and Television (FESPACO) 2015, where the audio for Right to Life was recorded.

The video is what is to be formally presented in Nigeria on Friday, September 18, at 7pm at Freedom Park’s food court.

Ade Bantu, who is the front man of the 13-piece band, is a Nigerian-German musician, music and film producer and the founder of the Afro-German music collective and NGO, Brothers Keepers.
