ROCKY DAWUNI'S
"HYMNS FOR THE REBEL SOUL"

Dawuni describes the 11-song album, which was recorded during the recent transformative U.S.Presidential election, as an uplifting exploration of social and global consciousness. The music was crafted to reflect the common spiritual, political and social aspirations felt by people around the world.

"Hymns for the Rebel Soul features melodic acoustic tracks like "Jerusalem," a personal ode to the Holy City as well as the poignant social commentary of "Walls Tumblin Down" and the Lover's Rock vibe of "Extraordinary Woman." His track "Download the Revolution" appears on Electronic Arts' video game FIFA Soccer 2010 which has already sold millions of copies and is now available on iTunes. "African Soccer Fever/African Reggae Fever" was also just released on EA's FIFA World Cup 2010 Videogame.

A percentage of "Hymns for the Rebel Soul's"proceeds will go to Africa LIVE!, a non-profit organization founded by Dawuni, whose missionis to preserve, restore, and reinvigorate the Ghanaian live music scene. Rocky will do a rare live performance with his full band on Wednesday, June 30 atthe Waterfront Concert Theatre [http://www.thewfr.com/] in Marina delRey!
