The Refugee All Stars of Sierra Leone, November 2006

Another amazing benefit concert by the Refugee All Stars of Sierra Leone, the band formed in refugee camps in Guinea during the brutal Sierra Leone civil war. This event was held at the Showbox on November 12, 2006 and benefited the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. You can obtain the DVD documentary about the Refugee All Stars or their music CDs of fabulous upbeat reggae and traditional Sierra Leonean music by contacting NWIRP at http://www.nwirp.org. This group represents a celebration of life, of triumph over struggle, and of the power of music to heal, inform and bring joy.
