Revivalist's African Jazz Issue: Sierra Leone's Refugee Allstars
<p>Today <a href="http://revivalist.okayplayer.com/2011/06/09/sierra-leone-refugee-all-stars/" target="_blank">Revivalist</a> reveals their feature story on <strong>Sierra Leone's Refugee Allstars</strong> - a group of inspired musicians who first came together at a refugee camp during Sierra Leone's brutal 11 year war. Using music as a form of healing, inspiration, and to affect positive change, the Refugee Allstars have also been the subject of a wonderful documentary (think <em>Buena Vista Social Club</em>). They are currently working on their next project, an album heavily produced by Victor Axelrod of <strong>Antibalas</strong> fame. For more on their story, and some amazing live video, <a href="http://revivalist.okayplayer.com/2011/06/09/sierra-leone-refugee-all-stars/" target="_blank">check out the Revivalist now</a>.</p>
