Music News - I LOVE SAMOA Measles Benefit Concert
02 January 2020 - 0 Comments
Ten years ago in 2009, Samoa was hit with the Tsunami tragedy that claimed hundreds of lives. The Villages that lost the most lives and hit with the most damage, was home to NZ rappers Savage and Scribe. The call was put out to our music family, the idea of coming together to raise funds for this cause and the result was a sold out Show at Vector Arena which raised over $400,000. But perhaps the greatest gift that New Zealander's gave was themselves and their gifts and talents, no one wanted payment for their Services. Vector Arena Venue and all Staff donated their time as did the Performers and Production Companies, with sound, lighting and /AV. Together we raised the biggest monetary donation that was received. This went into roads and infrastructure, of relocating homes from beach front to higher ground.
Now ten years later we are faced with another tragedy. In our home of Samoa, this time we have a measles epidemic that is taking our babies, and affecting many families, which is hitting much closer to home for us. We know our community is hurting and we, the Music Community once again have gathered the same team to bring a show that we want everyone to come to, to find support and also raise funds to support the families that have lost loved ones to the measles epidemic. We have our Auckland 'I Love Samoa Measles Benefit Concert’ Tuesday January 28 2020 Vodafone Events Centre Manukau
