FEBRUARY 23 “THIS WEEK IN THE MUSIC OF NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE”

Feliciano dos Santos, a musician from Mozambique, has toured around his country playing in more than 70 villages in support of clean water and sanitation. On this date in 2009, he performed in Mozambique with his band, “Massoukos.”

His band aims to help children in a country where he, too, suffered from poor sanitation at a young age.

Massoukos tours around the country spreading this message. Their first step in any village is to play music, then listen to what locals have to say, and then talk about the issues they are trying to solve.

Visit their website, and listen to some of their music.
