Lenny Kravitz has released an anti-war effort titled 'We Want Peace' as a free download, a track he recorded with Iraqi singer Kadim Al Sahir last week in Miami. The song also features Palestinian musician Simon Shaheen on strings and Lebanese artist Jamey Hadded on percussion.
The track is available to download on www.rockthevote.org, an organisation that encourages people to involve themselves with politics.
"I came to Rock the Vote because of its strong stance with young people as defenders of free expression," said Lenny Kravitz. "This song for me is about more than Iraq; It is about our role as people in the world and that we all should cherish freedom and peace."
A growing list of highly-respected stars have now released anti-war tracks, including REM, the Beastie Boys, John Mellencamp and former Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha.
