Musicians on every continent are joining together to Spread 'Harmony for Humanity'

The 7th annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days are being held October 1 - 31, 2008. Over the last 5 years events have been held in Cyprus and this year sees the arrival of San Francisco based beat-maker, MC and music industry lecturer, Steffen Franz aka Stand Out Selector who will join local artists in performances and many related activities.

Musicians of every genre - professional, amateur and youth - are invited to participate in this global network of concerts, using the power of music to help spread a message of hope, unity and "Harmony for Humanity." Performances by the World Music Days Honorary Committee, including Grammy Award winner Herbie Hancock, are expected to be among the highlights, as in previous years.

Since World Music Days' inception, more than 2,000 concerts in 77 countries have been dedicated in memory of Daniel Pearl, The Wall Street Journal reporter murdered by extremists in Pakistan shortly after 9/11. Pearl, was a talented musician who believed in the power of music to bridge differences and unite people around their shared humanity. The Foundation established World Music Days in 2002 to honor his October 10th birthday.

"Danny joined musical groups in every community he visited, playing everything from classical and jazz to folk, rock and bluegrass," explained Judea Pearl, Daniel's father and president of the Daniel Pearl Foundation. "He used music to overcome cultural and language barriers, leaving a long trail of musician friends around the globe. World Music Days continues his legacy of hope and international friendship."

Chris Brown, subject of tabloid.......
Chris Brown, subject of tabloid coverage that is going to continue ad nauseum, has been arrested for allegedly bashing his girlfriend, Rihanna after the Grammys last Sunday. He turned himself in and posted his own bail, $50,000, about 1,000 payday loans' worth of cash. The reasons for the fight remain unknown, but it seems the damage has been done. Nearly every company having ties to the singer have dropped him, so it may be that we'll see him in line soon enough for payday loans.
