Leading African male artists D’Banj, Diamond and Banky W have joined forces with U2 lead singer and ONE co-founder Bono to remix – the anthem that celebrates the power of girls and women everywhere.

The original song features Omotola, Waje, Selmor Mtukudzi and other top female artists from across the continent. The guys may be remixing it, but the message stays the same: Poverty is sexist. Women and girls everywhere are held back, through lack of education, and economic opportunity.

“Strong Girl (Remix)” features vocalists Waje (Nigeria), D’Banj (Nigeria) Victoria Kimani (Kenya), Vanessa Mdee (Tanzania), Banky W (Nigeria), Arielle T (Gabon), Diamond (Tanzania) Gabriela (Mozambique), Yemi Alade (Nigeria), Selmor Mtukudzi (Zimbabwe), Judith Sephuma (South Africa), new talent Blessing Nwafor (South Africa), and U2’s Bono.

The video also stars Omotola Jalade Ekeinde (Nigeria).
