FREE Charity Concert
“AYO KITA BICARA HIV AIDS"
BaliSpirit Festival is hosting a free charity concert at the Ubud soccer field on Sunday February 13th to kick off the 2011 AYO! Kita Bicara HIV/AIDS campaign. The concert, headlined by international reggae star Afro Moses, will run from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., showcase local talent, and raise awareness about one of the island’s gravest and fastest growing health challenges.
A collection of well-known local musicians will take the stage to show their support for the launch of AYO! Kita Bicara/HIV (Let’s Talk about HIV/AIDS), Bali’s most relevant HIV/AIDS prevention and education non-profit initiative. Artists scheduled to perform are: BALI YAYASAN KYASTA GUNA, ROKAVATAR BAND, BINTANG BANG & KIS, SUPA KALULU, AFRO MOSES with RAY & THE SKY Reggae Band.
“We’re holding this concert to not only share great music with the community,” says Kadek Gunarta, Co-Founder of the BaliSpirit Festival, “but also to create an opportunity for people to learn more about HIV/AIDS in Bali, and to invite them to participate and support in helping stop the spread of this disease.”
AYO! Kita Bicara/HIV (Let’s Talk about HIV/AIDS) is an ongoing educational Outreach Program created by The BaliSpirit Festival, to engage the local community – specifically the Balinese youth, in conversations and education about HIV/AIDS at the grassroots level, and to promote teenagers as Agents of Change within Indonesia.
Later this month this awareness program will partner with Balinese schools to arrange five interactive programs in Gianyar that will share information, encourage HIV testing, and promote family engagement on the threat of HIV and AIDS.
According to Bali’s commission of AIDS Prevention, the number of Balinese infected with AIDS will double in 2011 to over 7,300 cases. Males represent the vast majority of those infected, and those most at risk are reported to be men and women of reproductive age (15-29 years old).
The BaliSpirit Festival is a leader among a new generation of festivals for the rapidly growing holistic travel marketplace. Combining over 100 yoga, dance and music workshops with nightly world music concerts, this annual event provides a platform of inspiration and the opportunity to affect positive change at the personal and community level.
