"WE ARE ONE" is an original song created and recorded in Namibia (Southwest Africa) featuring a collaboration of American and Namibian artists with photos/footage taken during the U.S. State Department's Arts Envoy Cultural Exchange tour of "The Myrna Clayton Experience" for the U.S. Embassy in Namibia. This song features five languages: Oshiwambo, American-English, Otjiherero, Khoe-Khoe Gowab, and Afrikaans. The message in the music expresses that we are all one people sharing this world together...and we all enjoy the same things: smiling - dancing - playing (sharing our gifts/talents). We are more alike than we are different...so let's live together in peace.
