Last year you helped a young guy called Alcinei (see previous event) by raising over £3,000. He now with our help has a confirmed appointment for the operation with the leading surgeon in Sao Paulo. When Bob visited the Reserve in January, construction on a crèche /school was in process. It desparetly needs more funding to complete and stock with equipment, so they have asked BOB and friends to help again.After the success of last year, we hope that you can offer your support again.

Thank you to all those who were there, this event raised just over £1,000.

Bailongo! World Music Party 26th October 2006
What the heck is World Music anyway
I mean, if it was recorded on this planet isn't it by definition world music? perhaps in many ways "world music" defies catergorization as a genre because it utilizes influences from .... well, the entire planet. The traditional sits side by side with the neo-traditional: Senegalese Hip Hop, Nuevo-Cumbia, Electronica, Saharan Desert Blues, Japanese Pop .... the world without boundaries! Tribal, Afropop, Celtic, Salsa, Fusion and more .... World-class musicians from all over the globe, from legendary to cutting edge: Ravi Shanker, Slonovsky bal, Habib Koite, Buena Vista Social Club, Baba Maal, Lee Scratch Perry, Amalia Rodrigues, Paris Combo, Tarika, Manu Chao, Gal Costa .... The list is endless, from the festive Gypsy dance music of Eastern Europe to the sultry musical styling of Cape Verde; from the funky beats of North American Rai to the sensual sounds of Brazil and the exotic voices of Japan, Pakistan, Tibet and beyond!
Rich musical traditions of Africa, Europe, Asia, The Middle East, South and North America, and the global fusions from the streets of New York, Paris, London and Barcelona. Music has always crossed borders and as our global village becomes smaller the border-crossings are coming at a dizzying pace. So hop aboard our global express and hang on .... your trip around the world begins .... now!!!!
