Hello friends of The Peace Train!
As you know, the multicultural
South African band of Sharon Katz & The Peace Train helped Nelson Mandela
end apartheid and have continued spreading their message of social justice through
music all around the world. Here is a link to the trailer from When Voices Meet, the award-winning documentary made about the first Peace Train in South Africa:? ?
Honoring South Africa¡¯s 25th
Anniversary, The Peace Train: Transcending Barriers tour features concerts,
film screenings and workshops across Africa, Mexico, Cuba and the USA.?Since the successful 2017 Bay Area events, Sharon Katz and The Peace Train team have partnered with organizations in both San Diego and Tijuana and have been conducting ongoing cross-border workshops and concerts.? A large group of us walked across the border in July 2018 and participated in a vibrant concert at the Tijuana Cultural Center.? It was truly a profound experience. Here is a link to the video of this event:??
The work continues.? We believe deeply in the power and importance of these events, now more than ever.?On April
