Music News - A concert for Darfur proving popular
23 September 2007 - 0 Comments
Ticket sales are steady for the New Zealand Red Cross Concert for Darfur on September 28.
The music event at the San Francisco Bathhouse in Wellington will bring together 10 bands from African drummers to blues musicians and all money raised from ticket sales will be donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross and their operations in Darfur.
Musician Sam Manzanza is behind the idea for the concert and will be one of the acts performing, along with The Pleasures, Darren Watson Blues Band, Olmecha Supreme, Batucada, UHP and many others.
San Francisco Bathhouse entertainment manager Brendan Moran is expecting a strong crowd for the event.
Mr Moran says the San Francisco Bathhouse have chosen to support the event due to the fact that it is raising money for such a good cause.
Sudan is the ICRC’s largest humanitarian operation worldwide. It is believed that more than two million people in the country have been forced to flee their homes in recent years due to conflict.
The need for protection and assistance in Sudan is enormous but the volatile security situation has often disrupted humanitarian work and deprived those in need of vital aid.
Tickets for the concert cost $10 and are available from New Zealand Red Cross, Trade Aid, Real Groovy Records, Cuba Street, and Kwanzaa, The Afrikan Shop, Manners Street, Wellington.
