Music Beyond Artists, a collective of young Congolese musicians from the war-ravaged cities of Goma, Butembo, and Beni, deliver a deeply moving pop anthem titled ‘Under the Same Stars – Sous les mêmes étoiles’.
Released on June 20, 2025, the single is more than a song, it is a resounding cry for unity, healing, and hope in a world fractured by conflict.
Formed under the nonprofit organization Music Beyond, the group comprises vocalists, instrumentalists, and storytellers brought together by purpose and passion.
These artists have grown up in the shadow of war, surrounded by violence over mineral-rich lands and under constant threat from armed militias.
Yet through it all, they chose to sing not of despair, but of resilience.
‘Under the Same Stars – Sous les mêmes étoiles’ is a universal anthem that speaks to shared humanity.
Born from raw personal stories and collective pain, the song connects the struggles of Congo to those of Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and beyond.
The writing and recording process was intensely emotional, with lyrics shaped by real experiences and melodies carried by the voices of youth who refuse to be silenced.
The accompanying video, shot in Goma, Butembo, Beni, and inside a refugee camp, captures a rare glimpse into the everyday strength and dignity of people living through chaos.
Each frame speaks of survival, resistance, and hope.With a rich blend of universal sounds and modern pop sensibilities, Music Beyond Artists have created something that transcends borders.
‘Under the Same Stars’ is not just a song it is a movement, a tribute to the courage of young dreamers who still believe in a better world, and a reminder that we all live under the same sky.
