Editorial Reviews

A collection of r&b, soul, jazz, pop, world and gospel songs by Berklee College of Music students and staff to raise awareness of the plight of women and children affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan. We Are All Connected is the culmination of a collaborative effort engaging many members of the Berklee community. A delegation of Boston women traveled to the Sudan with Mercy Corps where the group heard firsthand accounts of the violence that has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions to camps. These stories inspired the group to take action to produce a full-length CD. Guest Artists Include: Meshell Ndegeocello, Walter Beasley and Vinnie Colaiuta

5.0 out of 5 stars Just listen to the voices, January 26, 2007

Very powerful statement by an extraordinary group of young musicians. In one song, you can hear the voices of the children of Darfur. It is haunting yet inspiring to hear the voices crying out for fear of extinction, but at the same time at peace with themselves.

This review is from: Darfur: We Are All Connected (Audio CD)

Wow! This CD blew me away. I am so impressed with the students, faculty and staff of Berklee College of Music for lending their time and talents to produce this benefit CD for Darfur. The music is so diverse and inspiring too! Everything from jazz to techno to R&B, world and country. I love the way they wove the voices of the Sudanese women and children into their music. [..] Hats off to Berklee, their leader Roger Brown and his wife Linda Mason for bringing this topic to their campus, and inspiring the making of this CD. I love that I can buy an incredible CD of music, and support a cause that is near and dear to my heart. Proceeds go to MercyCorps "Darfur Fund", and I plan to buy several more to share with friends and family this holiday season. Do something good for your soul and for the good of humanity and buy this CD!

This review is from: Darfur: We Are All Connected (Audio CD)

I came upon this CD as an activist for the women of Darfur. I was familiar with the work of Mercy Corps and knew that any project they were involved with was worth my money. I searched for really effective ways that I could help stop the atrocitites in the Sudan and was quite pleased to have come upon this CD.

Well then, I actually listened to it. It's great. I mean, really great. I know Berklee is a very reputable music school so I figured it would be good, but I can honestly say I was really moved by the music. I was psyched that not only had I helped the women of Darfur by buying the CD but I was also proud to be supporting Berklee students and faculty.

As a result of the music being so good, I am going to give this CD to several people on my holiday list this year. Of course it's also nice to give gifts just for the humanitarian aspect, so it's great to know that with this CD I'll have both bases covered.
