Beats For Burma

A fundraiser this Sunday!

Featuring ace local hip hop

Recent devastation in Burma (Myanmar) due to a cyclone and tsunami has left over 20,000 people dead and affected hundreds of thousands more. The notoriously corrupt military government has been secretive about the actual casualty figures, and current estimates greatly exceed the official figure of 22,500. Those suffering the worst effects of the cyclone are the poor and needy. Though initially unwilling to receive foreign aid, Burma is now becoming more receptive to help for its thousands of sick, injured and displaced citizens.

In support of these relief efforts, The Community is presenting a night of live hip hop and beats with all proceeds going to providing vital resources such as food, clothing and medical supplies for those affected by the cyclone. Proceeds are also going towards the International Youth for Human Rights movement to help promote human rights in this country, where human rights abuses are an everyday occurrence.

The night will feature RTR DJ Ben Taafe, Local MCs Rooftop and MC Able, and the hip hop bonanza that is Diger Rockwell. Plus some very special surprise guests. This will be a night to remember, with the hottest local hiphop talent convening at 459 from 6-10pm this Sunday the 11^th for the best of causes. Who needs a reason as good as this to check out some great local music? Not you. Come down, bring a rich friend, drink some beer, and feel good all week.

Venue: MOJO’s BAR, North Fremantle
