Refugee all-stars


Refugee All-Stars Band are the talked about group over here and I understand from my daughter Suzanne that they are performing in Toronto at Thompson Hall and later in London England. The group were all refugees of the civil war here that ended in 2002. The drummer had his hand amputated by rebel soldiers. The music has the beat and feel of a rather unique music I hear everywhere here - on car radios, in bars and even yesterday on the beach. The message is highly political and is a great time for African development to be on the lips of people in "the west" You can listen at

This is the second time i've posted .Not sure the first one made it thru? If the waether's cool it should remind you of winter!! On your return I'd like to arrange a speaker's dinner at Grano (Robert the owner just was awarded the Jane Jacobs Award for 2006).Pat McCarney is part of this.
hope Xmas is peaceful and I'm sure interesting. Stay well, go well (comes to mind from Cry, the Beloved Country by Patton).
