SoulAid
by Brent Crampton
November 11 - 2006 - Omaha, NE - Within a single generation
AIDS has reached pandemic proportions globally. There are
now over 40 million people living with AIDS. Of the 13.2
million children who have been left behind in the wake of
AIDS, 95% are in Africa alone, and every 14 seconds another
child is faced with losing his or her parent and taking
on adult responsibilities because of AIDS.
In response to this, Ultramusique.com is on a soul mission
as we present, Soul Aid: A NextAid.org Benefit, which will
take place on Nov. 11th, from 7 p.m. – 1 a.m. at The
Omaha Press Club (scroll down for directions and parking
info).
A celebration of culture for a cause, Soul Aid will feature
live saxophone, percussion, keys and dee jay combined in
the national headlining jazz-house ensemble known as Soul
System (www.soulsystem.com). Opening act will be Brent Crampton,
alongside a rare appearance by LJ Munz, with host Jay 'Rhythm
Souldier' Kline.
Proceeds will be donated to Nextaid.org and as a further
contribution, we'll be hosting a donation dinner from 7-9
pm, where contributors can make a minimum donation of $30
for a full course dinner (this fee includes ticket price
as well). RSVP must be received by by Nov. 8th.
Flickering city skyline view, 22-floors up and right in
the middle of Omaha’s downtown business district is
The Press Club. A private member-based bar and dining club
that has previously never been open to club culture, The
Press Club offers a high-rise view of the city that extends
unto the horizon.
