Bonjour,

Rise up Haiti! On Friday 26^th January was a funky event. United Haitians in the United Kingdom raised £2,240 that evening which is good. We wish we could have done more but it’s a start.

We mentioned before that this charity will use this money to send clothes, medical supply to Haiti. It will also be working on projects to re-build schools there.

Its members are actively collecting clothes, shoes, medical supply and also food in the UK. This weekend they will be collecting these in Swindon and Southampton to bring them back to their container in Battersea.

Following the collection they will sort the donations and ship them to Haiti.

UHUK is currently investigating the safest, fastest and cost efficient way to ship these goods to Haiti. We will have an update next week on this.

It is also supported by other charities including Hearts to Africa and the African Development Association for Progress.

Next step: filtering/sorting/shipping

We will keep you updated on timings

Hello,

Sun Bailante will be 2 years old in November. Also we are working on a very special birthday party in a new venue and the date will be announced soon.

It will be our last event for 2009 as we are going on holidays in the tropical island of Reunion after that.

We won’t have the monthly party at Rubylo and it will start again in 2010.

To know more about our birthday party please email: sunbailante@gmail.com

Here is a slide show of our last party with music!

Enjoy

The most singular instrument is called Marimba and is the equivalent of the xylophone largely used in the west side of Africa. 

Grupo Sacavon - Homenaje a Justino

You can see the band better following this link.

Hip-hop has become mainstream and been widely taken over by the younger generation in many countries. The band Choc Quib Town, named after their department and city, El Choco and Quibdo, is the best example of Afro-Colombian Hip Hop.

Choc Quib Town - Somos Pacifico

Salsa, Cumbia and the mix of both have made their way too with bands like Markitos y su Sabrosura and Los Nemus del Pacifico the later has for many decades provided the best Cuban style Colombian Salsa

Markitos y so Sabrosura - Asi es mi tierra

Los Nemus del Pacifico - No me mientas

The biggest and most famous music producer is Discos Fuentes and most of the songs mentionned above are easy to find on your preferred download software.
