New song by DAVID RUDDER for the Burmese people

Here's a song recorded with international Soca recording artist David Rudder for the Burmese people.

David Rudder a Trinbagonian artist with over 30 years in the Soca and World music industry, continues to use Soca music and the art form itself to help promote world peace and to bring relevant issues to the forefront in a format that can truly be called World Music.

In life David sees himself more as an artist rather than an entertainer. "An entertainer to me deals with the surface and an artist goes below the surface to bring things to the surface." - David Rudder

It was the influence of the Shango and Pan yard that was to actually colour his music. The chanting of the Shango Baptists continues to be at the heart of many of his songs, though his musical tastes in the past had leaned towards jazz. Other influences include the African music of Yossou N'Dour, Salif Keita, Mory Kante and Alpha Bondy.

He has often been described as a pensive, self-contained individual; a person who, wrote Trinidadian columnist - Wayne Brown, "...has acquired the notion of singing as a king of self-sacrifice, involving surrender of personality and of the singer dissolving to become at once a symbiotic extension of the audience and the anguished medium of the song, a voice of the mercy of a Baptist testifier."
