“Shine A Light” by Rocky Dawuni combines the sounds of New Orleans with reggae and samba to create an anthem of positivity. The song and video celebrate the power of our shared humanity and the importance of being courageous to tap into your own power of expression. In a time of great uncertainty in our world, “Shine a Light” reminds the listener to uphold the positive and recognize that we are all agents of hope and change. The brand new video for the track which was filmed Los Angeles, directed by renowned photographer Myra Vides and produced by Cary Sullivan is a tribute to joy in all of its organic expressions.
