April 5th, 9pm-11pm EST, Virtual, $Donation
In the last few months, successive cyclones, flooding, earthquakes, and massive power outages have had devastating consequences for the people on the island of Cuba. The increased depravations have compounded the effects of widespread shortages of fuel, medicine and essential supplies.
In response, a consortium of seasoned concert producers have come together across the nation in an unprecedented effort to raise humanitarian aid for Cuba.
On Sunday February 16, live SRO concerts were produced and presented in NYC at the People’s Forum, in Chicago at Constellation, and in the Bay Area at the Chapel. These live concerts were professionally filmed and edited for our SATURDAY APRIL 5 stream via Facebook Live and You Tube. While the streaming concert will be presented without paywalls, the fundraising effort will additionally contribute proceeds directed to support humanitarian aid for Cuba.
Global Partners for Health and The People’s Forum are the designated intermediary recipients and experienced in managing the logistics of large- scale relief efforts and are our designated partners to deliver the supplies.
The national coordinating committee is led by: Bill Martinez, Marguerite Horberg and Hannah Craig with support of local host committees from across the country. The two-hour concert will feature dozens of artists who have donated their time for the project and they include:
ORQUESTA LA MODERNA TRADICIÓN-
JAVIER NAVARRETTE’S, KAI LYONS’ CHARANGÜI WITH SPECIAL GUESTS-
