On Monday 27th August 2007, a historic gathering of top South African artists came together to perform for the music video of a brand new version of a timeless South African musical classic - Johnny Clegg's 'Spirit of the Great Heart'. Produced by award-winning artist, Michael Canfield, this multi-generational, musically-diverse group has pooled their talents to collaborate on the vocals and visuals of one of South Africa's most loved songs - all in support of the Starfish Greathearts Foundation, an international development charity that supports over 34,000 orphaned and vulnerable children across South Africa.

The new 'Spirit of the Great Heart' single features many award winning South African talents including Johnny Clegg, Arno Carstens, Karen Zoid, Josie Field, Chris Chameleon, Danny K, Proverb , Cito (Wonderboom), Sipho 'Hotstix' Mabuse, The Bala Brothers, Kahn Morbee (Parlotones' frontman), Louise Carver, Dr. Victor, The Holy Cross Choir, Brenda Burnit & Michael Canfield/ RhythmSectionAfrica feat. Alistair Coakley - all in a combined effort to raise awareness and bring life, hope and opportunity to orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa.

'We are simply astounded by the generosity and passion that everyone involved in this project has shown. By using their time, talents and resources the South African music and filming industries have helped us to inspire thousands of South Africans to stand up and make a difference to the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children,' says, Kelli Givens, Resource Development Manager for the Starfish Greathearts Foundation. 'This amazing effort will show the global community that citizens from all walks of life are indeed stimulating a bright future for South Africa.'

Cameron Cozens made his directorial debut with the music video of 'Spirit of the Great Heart' which he also wrote and produced. Shot on 35 mm, the video takes the viewer into the heart of the Starfish Greathearts Foundation and aims to mobilise and inspire a global community to make a difference - one child at a time.

Each of the artists involved has provided a track that will feature in addition to 'Spirit of the Great Heart' single along with the music video and other special material on a compilation CD called 'Spirit of the Great Hearts' that will be released by Gallo Record Company on 16 November and will be available in stores nationwide at a cost of R149. All profits from the sale of the compilation CD including 100% of the artists' royalties on the new Greatheart track will go directly to benefit the Starfish Greathearts Foundation.

Says Canfield, 'Those of us who have been blessed with talent, abundance and a platform from which to speak have a responsibility to show our gratitude by sharing our blessings with those less fortunate'. This is the vision that was shared by a team of hundreds of South Africans who came together as a nation and donated their time, talents, trades, products and passion to make this project possible, proving that anyone, anywhere can make a difference.

The Starfish Greathearts Foundation would like to thank the following organisations and individuals for making this project possible: Michael Canfield, Catherine Bolton, Cameron Cozens, Jamie Ramsay (DOP), Angus Rose (Music Co-Producer) Jo Gibbons (Editor), Rosalind Nale (Producer), Gallo Record Company, Kodak, Panacam, The Film Lab, The Video Lab, Call-a-Crew, Kids on Camera, Scene 5 Casting, Forecast, Film Chefs, Thuso Security, CGM Insurance Brokers, Cozens Recruitment, Momentum, Centratel and Red Flag.

I'm homesick!!!! It's so unfair I'm here in Germany when my heart is still back home in S.A. I wish I could turn back time. I would spend the most part of my life pressing the rewind button just to go back there again.
My heart goes out to all of us South Africans who lost there lovely home and are scatterling of Africa in another part of the world.
