Our Purpose by Richard Howell and the Joy Protocol Ensemble is the next chapter of Howell’s celebrated Bridge Music—a genre built to connect hearts across all divides. Rooted in the radical idea of a Mandate on Happiness, this album is a sonic call to uplift, unite, and bring joy, weaving together rhythms, melodies, and spirit to remind us of our shared humanity. It’s not just music—it’s a joyful movement you can feel.
