In the fall of 2008 we used your donations to help a group of talented Dar es Salaam street youth record an album of their hip hop music.

The group (known as Wakali Wadowntown) recorded a 6 track album and called it Maisha Magumu (Hard Life). Please come out and celebrate this music at our CD release party in Vancouver!

When: Thursday, September 24th
Where: The Lamplighter Pub (92 Water Street in Gastown)

Time: 6 to 10 pm

ALL CD SALES GO DIRECTLY BACK TO THESE YOUTH ARTISTS IN DAR ES SALAAM IN THE FORM OF SAFER HOUSING AND SCHOOL FEES
