NASHVILLE |FR: ALEXANDRA GREENBERG/MSO
CREATES A MUSICAL MONUMENT TO THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL
WITH “WE ARE ONE” FEATURING JOHNNY MCDAID
SINGLE TO BE PRESENTED DURING FESTIVITIES
AT THE BRANDENBURG GATE IN THE ARTIST'S HOMETOWN BERLIN, GERMANY NOVEMBER 9
AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE VIA iTUNES NOVEMBER 10
The soundtrack for this unique gathering will be provided by music from the world’s top musicians. As a wall of 800 oversized dominoes positioned near the former run of the wall between “Reichstag” and “Potsdamer Platz” will be symbolically knocked down, several orchestral pieces by the Staatskapelle Berlin, conducted by Daniel Barenboim, and U.S. rock icons Bon Jovi performing their current single “We Weren’t Born To Follow” will be heard. When the final domino topples, PAUL VAN DYK will close with a fireworks finale of “We Are One,” an anthem that will leave none untouched.
“It is an incredible honor to be allowed to present my ‘We Are One’ anthem on November 9 against such a fantastic backdrop. The events of 20 ago still move me very personally. I have invested a lot of time and emotion in this project,” said the musician, creator of the song with McDaid who also collaborated with him on his current #1 chart-topping single “Home.”
PAUL VAN DYK grew up in East Berlin, East Germany, immigrating to West Germany just before the wall fell in 1989. After its demise, VAN DYK returned to Berlin and began his unprecedented career there. He has become not only a youth idol but on his many international tours also a musical ambassador of a unified Germany, whose views are much sought after by politicians and political commentators.
