Good & relevant music are powerful tools to motivate people to oppose wars and promote peace & love for humanity. For example, in the early 70's, millions of people from America and around the world protested peacefully on the streets, brought together by the power of music and their icons such as Bob Dylan and John Lennon, and also by events such as the Woodstock festival to oppose the Vietnam War. Good music which became part of the growing peace movement, played a critical role in ending the Vietnam War in 1975. Then US President Richard Nixon realized that after losing more than 50,000 American lives in this cruel & unjust war and with public opinion turning against the war led by the music icons, he seemed to understand that it would be inexpedient to continue with the war.
This 1988 Olympics song encapsulates what the Ipech Museum Project stands for - to use the "best of the best" (contents, technology, performers, artefacts etc.) in promoting world peace, environment and Asian cultural heritage.

This lovely song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" sung by Madonna (2018), is about Eva Peron who was the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 to 1952 (when she passed away). She was given the title Spiritual Leader of the Nation by the Argentine Congress just before she passed away at the age of 33. Her fight for social justice, against poverty and the rights of oppressed and women is legendary and is consistent with our concept of lasting Holistic Peace.
