To end our Peace Week 2013, we have chosen a medley of two classic American songs, which symbolise hope on a better world. We wanted to end the week with some optimism.
The songs are "SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW" taken from the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" and originally sung by actress Judy Garland, which has been joined together with 1967 Louis Armstrong's jazz classic "WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD". This medley version was performed by Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole in 1993. Here's an audio of his version with lyrics in English and Spanish translation. Sing along.
