MWH Partners with Local Musicians to Bring Relief to those in a Refugee Camp

Here at Kyaka II UNHCR Refugee Camp, musicians and dancers from Mubende entertain approximately 500 men, women and children who have been displaced by the war in neighboring DR Congo. Musicians for World Harmony’s Founding Director, Samite Mulondo, brought the MUSIC Heals Program* to this central/western refugee community for an afternoon and evening of joy and relief from daily camp life. Not only were refugees entertained, local musicians and dancers were employed as well. MUSIC Heals is a program created by MWH to bring the healing power of music into communities in desperate need of an outlet for expression and a means of coping.

*MUSIC Heals: Mobile Unit of Song to Improve Communities.

Samite’s 9th CD is a collection of instrumentals that sprang from his deep knowledge of tradition and his recent soundtrack work on the film, “Addiction Incorporated.” On this CD the producers explore the storytelling powers of many instruments and Africa's melodic roots. All proceeds from the sale of TRUST go directly to Musicians for World Harmony. Click on your store of choice above to purchase.
