	FYI - For those who are in New York next week. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Federica Rangel Date: Wed, May 4, 2011 at 3:31 PM Subject: Jazz Benefit Concert to benefit HIV prevention To: lindsay (at) gyca.org Good afternoon Lindsay, Transdiaspora Network is a nonprofit organization conducting culturally-oriented HIV prevention activities in Brooklyn. We communicate with youth and empower them to develop their sense of personal responsibility in their relationship with the community. Our interest in HIV prevention stems from the desire to go beyond the current biomedical and individualist approach, and to encompass a more holistic strategy through dance, music, storytelling and photography. We bring a new social meaning to culture and tradition. Details of the concert are as follows: Date: Thursday May 12th, 2011 Time: 7pm until midnight Venue: Canal Room 285 West Broadway New York, NY 10013 Tickets can be purchased online for $25 at http://www.transdiasporanetwork.org/home.html Or at the door the day of the event for $30 Cyrille Aimée, finalist in the 2010 Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition, will be performing. Internationally renowned and praised for her unparalleled abilities, Cyrille is an undeniable talent in the modern age of jazz. We are honored that she will be lending her talent in support of our cause, and we hope you will consider sharing with us this important, mission-driven event. Past benefit concert performances include Cuban diva Xiomara Laugart, jazz legend Yosvany Terry, avant-garde singer-songwriter Pavel Urkiza, talented vocalist Sofia Tosello, and acclaimed Colombian Billboard star Marta Gómez. Each year, we have attracted an ever-increasing following of music lovers and socially conscious New Yorkers. Attached I've included our brochure for more information about our mission and programs, and the event's poster for details about the concert. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or need further information. Your valuable support and partnership will help our much-needed work with at-risk adolescents, and fulfill our program's promise to advance HIV prevention, one teen at a time. Thanks for your amazing work on HIV awareness, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
