A small team of folks (including myself) are trying to help raise funds to get Sorie Kondi to SXSW in Austin, Texas this upcoming March. If you’re unfamiliar with Sorie, check out the many profiles done on him c/o Vickie Remoe, the BBC, and We Own TV.

His songs, like “Without Money No Family” tell stories of a tough life, so expectedly, Sorie would never be able to afford the ticket to come the U.S. on his own. We’re appealing for help to make it happen. Visit the Kickstarter page to make a donation. He’s got some great incentives up there too!

Also, look out for my own remix of “Without Money No Family” soon on my latest EP, African in NY.
