Bliss n Eso - Bullet and a Target Ft. The Connections Zulu Choir
October 1st 2007 06:20
All I gotta say is... RESPECT!
Bliss n Eso
Return with their latest single:
“Bullet and a Target”
featuring: The Connections Zulu Choir
Bliss n Eso are back with something truly special this time – a collaboration with the Connections Zulu choir, a 21 piece African Choir from the Valley of a thousand hills in South Africa. And the result? Nothing short of extraordinary!
Affected so much by their life changing trip to South Africa earlier in the year with MTV and the Oaktree Foundation, Bliss n Eso where inspired to record a song for charity, donating 100% of the profits to the funding of projects in developing regions of South Africa in the hope of creating awareness and a brighter future for those in need.
The Story:
Hailing from KwaNyuswa, in the Valley of a Thousand Hills, South Africa comes the Connections Zulu Choir – an inspirational group of teenagers and young adults whose songs tell the story of growing up in South Africa. They live in the epicentre of the worlds HIV/AIDS epidemic (over half their population is infected with HIV) and every day they face the challenges posed by high rates of crime, unemployment, substance abuse and extreme poverty. However, in spite of living in such adverse conditions and without any formal training, the choir's musical talent is undeniably incredible.
The Cause:
100% of all profits from the sale of this track will go to The Oaktree Foundation, Australia's only youth-run international aid and development organisation. The money will then be channelled through to the Connections Zulu Choir and the funding of other projects in developing regions of South Africa in the hope of creating awareness and a brighter future for those in need.

" When I saw the video of the Connections Zulu Choir singing I realised that this was really something special… As a singer, and as a human, this was something I really wanted to be a part of."
– Jimmy Barnes
" Going over to South Africa really gave us a sense of reality - It's one thing to read about Africa, or to see the ads on TV but actually being there is something totally different. It's incredibly rewarding to know that I've been a part of something that has the potential to not only create awareness but also to really make a difference."
