Sierra Leone Refugee All-Stars - Living Like a Refugee
The All-Stars became the subject of a moving, award-winning documentary championed by Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and others. Formed in the war-torn refugee camps of West Africa, with equipment donated by Canadian relief agency CECI, the band plays a charming mix of roots reggae and highlife music on buoyant, life-affirming tracks such as the Peter Tosh-like “Bull to the Weak” and the effervescent “Soda Soap.” Having witnessed unspeakable horrors, the group is living proof of music’s healing powers.
