The band is a potent example of the redeeming power of music and the ability of the human spirit to persevere through unimaginable hardship and emerge with optimism intact. From their humble beginnings in West African refugee camps Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars have performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages and matured into one of Africa’s top touring and recording bands.
At this poignant time in history and in this holiday season, this concert provides the opportunity to celebrate the culture of West Africa, combat the discrimination faced by the West African community in diaspora and to contribute to the healing of West Africa.
