Bandar Seri Begawan - Megabond Productions - a local production crew - collaborated with several local artistes on Monday night, joining Starbucks and the Project (Red) Love Project, working together with artistes from all over the world for a simultaneous live-stream performance of the legendary classic hit, "All You Need Is Love".

The production crew and Bruneian artistes - Hans Anwar, Fakhrul Razi, Putri Norizah, Feez Madea, Juju, Fau P2F and A Band Once - worked on the live streaming of the unprecedented event, which united individuals, communities, nations and cultures through the universal language of music, at the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Shopping Complex at exactly 9.30pm.

Set in front of Brunei's famous iconic SOAS Mosque, the performance lasted about five minutes, as the song was sung only once, coinciding with other performers around the world. The first-ever global programme was on live feed www.StarbucksLoveProject. com. Following the sing-along, the website also invited everyone with access to a computer and video camera that night for an opportunity to submit their own version of "All You Need Is Love" for the whole world to see and hear.

For every video that is submitted to the site, Starbucks will make a special contribution to the Global Fund.

After 42 years since the world came together for an unprecedented live event in 1967 - when 26 different countries and over 400 million people united in an improbable moment: to witness the very first live international TV broadcast, the time has come to raise the bar up another notch and forever change the way we see the world, and the way the world sees us.

In 1967, the 'Beatles set the tone by singing "All You Need Is Love" to greet the global community.

It was a historic technological breakthrough, but it was also something bigger and more special - it was the moment when we were ushered in a striking new era of human connectivity, awareness and celebration.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
