In the fall of 2008, we traveled to Dar es Salaam to help a group of street youth record a hip hop album with the help of Urban Project, a grassroots charity that support youth lead art projects in urban centers, and the GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS OF OUR DONORS (you!), these guys were able to record a six track album that they called Maisha Magumu (Hard Life).

This event is to celebrate their music and talent and to THANK YOU for donating to this project.

ENTRY IS FREE.

All proceeds from CD sales ($10 each) will go back to the artists and will help to pay for safe housing and school fees.

There will also be a live performance by Victoria based Hip Hop crew, THE C.F.C.
