this weekend // BONGO LOVE because those CSI marathons are getting old.
Lawrence boasts a diverse cultural scene, but it's not every day that students can attend a concert at The Granada and give back on a local and global scale as well.
Bongo Love, an afrocoustic group from Zimbabwe, will join local acts SUNU and The
Irietions to help raise money for Support International, a non-profit based in Lawrence that creates awareness about the global water crisis.
Eclectic afroacoustics and giving back. Bongo Love, an event put on by Support International at The Granada Saturday, aims to raise money to help water issues.
Along with the vibrant musical performance, Support International will ruffle off a bicycle donated by The Lawrence Re-Cyclery, says Jill Dryden, a co-organizer of the event. The KU African Drum Ensemble will also perform outside, and, in between bands, a DJ will entertain the crowd.
All proceeds for the event benefit Support International, which uses funds to dig wells to provide clean drinking water in nations in need. However, the organization also wants to provide support locally, Dryden says, so they will be collecting canned goods and used clothing items to donate to a Lawrence shelter.
For a night full of music, dancing and giving back, check out the Support International Benefit Saturday at 9 p.m. at The Granada. Tickets are $10 at the door, but admission drops to $7 if you bring a canned good or used clothing item to donate.
