We Shall Not Be Moved- Video Shoot August 9, 2008

We Shall Not Be Moved is, essentially, the "We Are the World" of New Orleans

The musicians of New Orleans are producing a recording and video of the song, We Shall Not Be Moved, featuring some of New Orleans' best players,
singers and choirs, along with national celebrities.

The project is designed to heal, uplift and unify the people of New Orleans---and the world---helping us all turn the page once and for all, release the images of devastation to flow downstream, and stride into the future with spirits soaring.

We're expecting national media coverage for the launch of the WSNBM video on YouTube August 29th.

There will be an MC, the wonderful poet, Chuck Perkins, to direct the flow and entertain.
