Noted Asian Musicians Join Hands for Poverty
NEW DELHI, Sept 1 (OneWorld South Asia) - Indian development organizations have
successfully
roped in noted Bollywood musician and composer AR Rahman, also called The Mozart
from Madras,
for a poverty concert this weekend. Rahman will perform in Old Delhi on Saturday
for a host of
Asian and Indian non-governmental organizations (NGO) that hope to raise money
for fighting
poverty.
Rahman, who is also a goodwill ambassador for the STOP TB partnership for the
World Health
Organization (WHO), has been associating himself with development issues like
health and
poverty for the past few years. He will be joined on stage by popular Pakistani
pop band
Junoon’s lead guitarist Salman Ahmed. Salman is the UNDP's Goodwill Ambassador
for HIV/AIDS
issues in Pakistan and has been working on spreading awareness about the
disease.
The two follow in the global footsteps of U2 lead singer Bono and Irish musician
Bob Geldof,
both of whom have been lobbying with international activist organizations for an
increase in
developmental aid to African countries. They had recently performed at a global
concert,
organized to get more aid to fight poverty, just before the G8's meeting in
Gleneagles in
Scotland.
The concert is part of a two-day Asia-level People’s Summit Against Poverty
(PSAP) on September
3-4, which is being organized by diverse groups and peoples' movements. The PSAP
is linked at
the international level to the Global Call for Action Against Poverty (GCAP)
that had organized
similar concerts in ten cities all over the world in July to increase awareness
about poverty
in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The PSAP will also hold a people’s rally and release a shadow report on the
Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). The organizers expect nearly 10,000 people from all
over Asia to turn
up for the summit.
The idea behind the summit is globalization and its disastrous consequences for
the
marginalized communities. ActionAid India director Babu Matthew says: "The
summit will raise
awareness amongst people and draw the attention of government to poverty. The
existing
neo-liberal global philosophy has created a hype that globalization can remove
all problems of
people. Even the media has been taken in by the hype. On the contrary
globalization has given
people a raw deal." |
