World Youth Festival Theme Song Available On All Digital Platforms

The Festival hit, written by residents of the Tavrida Art Cluster, was released on the Tavrida.ART music label and is available on streaming services, including Apple Music, Yandex.Music, MTS Music and iTunes. People from all over the world can now listen to it.

The World Youth Festival theme song "We Are Here" aims to unite young people from different countries. Its authors and performers, the NANSI & SIDOROV duo, were inspired by the ideas and values of next year's most important international youth event – unity of people from all over the world, responsibility for the future of the planet, kindness and mutual help.

"It is no coincidence that the official song is called "We Are Here". It symbolizes the unity of young people around the world. Even the chorus was not created by us alone, but together with the talented young people from the Leningrad Region during the Boat of Creativity trip, special project of the 2023 Youth Day. More than 30 people came up with the lyrics that unite all the ideas and values of the Festival. We believe that the song will resonate in the hearts of many young people, not only our fellow countrymen, but also our friends from other countries. Music is a unique language that needs no translation, it can unite people from all over the world. And soon this song will be performed by Festival participants from all over the globe," said the members of the NANSI & SIDOROV duo.

The WYF 2024 theme song was presented by the NANSI & SIDOROV duo together with the residents of the cluster at the closing ceremony of the Tavrida.ART Festival of young art on 20 August.

NANSI & SIDOROV is the creative family duo of Anastasia Belyavskaya and Oleg Sidorov. Their daughter sings one of the lines in the song.
