A few weeks
ago, the band Sierra Leone’s
Refugee All Stars donated their song “Living Like a Refugee” to all ONE members. (For those
who missed our email and blog post, this remarkable band was formed by six refugees who escaped
from the ten-year civil war in Sierra Leone.)

Today, we want
to give you an update on the band’s whereabouts:

• Their CD, Living Like A Refugee, is coming out on Tuesday, September 26.
  You can pre-order a copy here.
  

• The band is currently touring the U.S. as part of their worldwide tour. Check out their tour dates. I plan to go to
  their October 26 performance at the 9:30 Club here in D.C.
• A critically acclaimed

  documentary
  about the band was released last year and is currently being screened at film festivals
  around the country and world. Click on this link for screening dates
  and locations.

• The band’s channel on
  You Tube is one of the most subscribed channels on the site this week. Check out it out for
  excerpts from their documentary, live concert footage and footage of the band’s life in refugee
  camps.

 

I posted one of
the band’s You Tube video clips above. If you visit and subscribe to their channel, you’ll be helping to
spread the word about the band. Check back to the ONE Blog for an update after the October 26 D.C.
show.
