A hymn of unity, strength, courage and joy featuring two youth music groups: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bandaunita\/\">Banda Unit\u00e0<\/a> (Brazil) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/as_one_1\/\">AsOne <\/a>(Italy). \u2018All of us, together with our diversity, are invited to go beyond borders to build a world where care, love, justice and inclusion are the answer to pain, the horror of wars and divisions,\u2019 explains the band.  <\/p>\n\n<p>What is behind the song?<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2018The new song is in itself a \u2018beyond borders\u2019 experience because of the way it was produced,\u2019 the band continues. The vocals were recorded in three different parts of the world and the video was also shot in three different locations: Loppiano and Verona (Italy) and Recife (Brazil).<\/p>\n\n<p>The project includes the participation of two youth music groups that share Gen Verde values. Banda Unit\u00e0 is a Brazilian band and AsOne is a band from Verona, Italy. These groups also want to share, through music, the values of peace, dialogue and universal brotherhood.  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2018Start Here and Now\u2019 has an intergenerational and intercultural mix,&#8217; continues Gen Verde. \u201cThis single stands out for its highly engaging rhythm and powerful lyrics, sung in different languages, to bring out the creative process inspired by interculturality and the commitment to universal brotherhood that is emphasised in the international Genfest event\u201d. <\/p>\n\n<p>Gen Verde played this song for the first time in Aparecida, Brazil, together with the musical groups Banda Unit\u00e0 and AsOne on 20 July 2024 during <a href=\"https:\/\/genfest.org\/\">Genfest<\/a>, the Focolare Movement&#8217;s global youth event.
