“Love Is Love” features Odi Agev Noel, Peter Okeugo, TaaMic, Jane Ikpe, Jarkie ‘Jaybird’ & Charlie.

According to one of the lead singers, Odi Agev, the recording of the song was done at a human rights training held in Nairobi, Kenya, for select African activists seeking “to promote all forms of love.”

“It’s a song recorded by human rights activists from Nigeria, Uganda, and Kenya to promote love/marriage equality and celebrate all forms of love. We recorded in Nairobi at the human rights training organized by ActionAid Global Platforms and All Out,” he said.
