Artists for Peace October 24 was a night of peace and cultural understanding against war and racism as the Concerned Artists of the Philippines (CAP) and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) organized a concert featuring progressive and alternative bands and singers. BY BULATLAT.COM
Dubbed
“A Solidarity Night for Peace and Cultural Understanding Against War and
Racism,” the concert fetaured bands such as the Jerks, Bersus, MP Composite
and Wuds; progressive singers including Chikoy Pura, Susan Fernandez and Paul
Galang; and cultural groups such as Tambisan, Sining Lila, Sining Bugkos,
Karatula, Sinag Bayan, Juan Isip and Makiling Ensemble. Visual
artist Alex Umali and theater actress Malou Maniquis hosted the program which
was divided into three segments. Each segment dealt with an issue related to the
US-led war: the World Trade Center and Pentagon bombing, US attacks on
Afghanistan and resulting human rights violations and the escalating worldwide
protest against the US aggression. A
statement, signed by “Artists for Peace,” called on artists to get involved
and protest against the Arroyo government’s gushing support to the US bombing
of Afghanistan. The Concerned Artists of the Philippines (CAP) also launched its
anti-US war postcard, priced at P5 each, to raise funds for other protest
activities. CAP and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) organized the activity. Bulatlat.com We want to know what you think of this article.
