Solar Maasai Show is a great success!

Jambo,

I'd like to thank everyone who came out to the Solar Maasai show, we had a great time and raised over two thousand dollars! Thanks to everyone who attended with a second thanks to those who donated.

I would also like to acknowledge the musicians who made everything possible.

Sila was very inspiring with his soulful renditions of Kenyan songs. Please check out his new album "Black President" and his website www.victorsila.com

Dublin rocked the party as we expect from this bay area veteran. Stay tuned for his new album "Ease the Pain" which is coming out next month. Stay in touch through either www.jazzmafia.com or www.myspace.com/dublin

A special thanks to Beta Lounge for providing the space for all of us. Elon and Gabe you are amazing hosts.

Guenet and Sophia, you also brought it all together and we couldn't have done it without you.

We look forward to another event when we return celebrating the completion of the installation.

Thanks everyone and I will be posting video of the performances very soon!
