Dear Friends, Hello and here is an exciting announcement for One World Beat 2006, happening in 17 countries worldwide! This could not have happened without the daily miracles of modern technology (in this case, all it's cracked up to be!), and some of the events will be audio-cast or webcast online, and also be on radio (hence posting to some ICTs forums...lots of young folks involved, so ditto to these forums).
Hope you'll join in wherever you are, and help us all to "Beat" as one! All best wishes and here's to making beautiful music together, Janet (Feldman, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.oneworldbeat.org/oneworldbeat2006/music_news/mai_02_brazil_2006.htm (Brazil, audio and possible video) http://www.oneworldbeat.org/oneworldbeat2006/music_news/mai_05_wales_2006.htm (Wales, Internet Radio) http://www.oneworldbeat.org/oneworldbeat2006/music_news/april_19_newyork_2006.htm (webcasting of music event) MAY 6 & 7, 2006 DONT MISS THIS UNIQUE AND POWERFUL GLOBAL EXPERIENCE: DRUMMING AND MUSIC-MAKING IN ONE WORLD BEAT! >From New York USA, to the Sagami Riverside in JAPAN, to the Heartfelt Arena in >SOUTH AFRICA, to the Culture Wheel in EGYPT, and in 17 countries worldwide. >Drummers and musicians around the globe, uniting for one hour of simultaneous >drumming and other concerts during the first weekend in May, as a message of >peace, hope, caring, and solidarity.
