Free West Papua Event - London, 1 September '06

The event is happening on Friday 1 September at Jamm in Brixton, and will see musicians, performers and DJs from around the world coming together, raising funds and awareness for the native people of West Papua who face extinction at the hands of the illegally occupying Indonesian forces.

Free West Papua Event - London, 1 September 2006

The occupation has so far cost the lives of 500,000 native Papuans, but because of multi-national mining interests and arms deals between the US, UK and Indonesia, Western governments are turning a blind eye to this ongoing genocide.

Set over two rooms with an outside space too, live performances will be coming from ex Fela Kuti band member Dele Sosimi, appearing with his critically acclaimed Afrobeat Orchestra! Also on the bill is the sensational Brazilian steel band Maracatu, as well as London blues head Errol Linton, and Maria Wenda — a native West Papuan refugee from the Lani tribe in the Papuan highlands.

DJ sets will come from Mixmaster Morris (Ninja Tune), global club and music producer Rita Ray (The Shrine) and Russ Jones of Future World Funk.

Extras will include capoeira performances, fire displays, visuals, human rights projections and comedy sketches, as well global munchies and DJs spinning everything from dub reggae to Latin.

There will be a live streaming of the event online at www.piratetv.net from 2200 GMT

All proceeds from the evening are going directly to West Papuan refugee support programmes through the Free West Papua Campaign www.freewestpapua.org

Tickets available from ticketweb priced at £8 advance
