After watching the Beat For Peace activist music video, there is only one word that describes how I felt: goosebumps.

Maybe it’s because it was early in the morning, or that I was feeling rather fragile after a pretty busy weekend; but there’s something about people coming together all across the world that just hits my emo-nerve.

Jamie Catto, the drummer of Faithless, was the brainchild of this video that got the likes of Phil Selway of Radiohead, Jonny Quinn of Snow Patrol, Stewart Copeland of The Police,Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, the renowned Egyptian drummer Yehia Khalil and Mustapha Tettey Addy from Ghana (who has been drumming since the 1970s) to get together and create a global ‘beat for peace’ for Sudan.

The video features a drum beat for peace starting in Sudan and being picked up and passed on like a baton between drummers in over 15 countries around the world including Brazil, Mexico, US (NY and LA), UK, France, Spain, Senegal, South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Mali, UAE, Japan, Russia and Australia.

So why are all these amazing drummers and countries drumming for peace in Sudan?  Five years ago, a peace deal was signed ending Sudan's 22-year-long civil war. But as the peace deal is coming to an end, violence flared up again in 2009, with more than 2,000 people killed and 350,000 displaced in south Sudan. Campaigners now fear the country could slide back into all-out war unless world leaders do more to try to bolster the fragile peace agreement. The campaign,Sudan365, is urging world leaders to pull out the stops in the next 365 days to prevent major conflict from returning to Sudan.

Phil Selway said, "I wanted to be involved in this project because I think music is such a powerful way of bringing people together. Of course, I'm biased in thinking that what's underpinning it all is always the beat - always drummers! Hopefully this film will show that together people can make a huge noise, and through this film I hope people's focus will be brought back to what is happening in the Sudan over this very important next year."

So let’s make a noise, people!
