Freemuse Celebrates Music Freedom Day 2010
Added: March 2010 to Events, Festivals and Opportunities
On March 3, ICORN co-operative partner Freemuse celebrates Music Freedom Day. Over four years, this annual occasion has grown into a truly global event which inspires increasing numbers of musicians and concert organisers to join, and informs millions of radio listeners about issues of freedom of expression for musicians.
Mumbai, Kabul, Cairo, Amman, Gdansk, The Hague and New York are some of the cities organising Music Freedom Day this year - a day that will also see the release of the Freemuse CD ‘Listen To The Banned' and a hand-over of the petition for the release of imprisoned singer Lapiro de Mbanga to the Embassy of Cameroon in Paris. In collaboration with Mondomix and Vigier Guitars, Freemuse will visit the Embassy of Cameroon in the French capital to hand over more than three thousands protests from all corners of the world.
