ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars have inflamed the passions of fans everywhere with their uplifting songs of hope, faith, and joy.
From humble beginnings in West African refugee camps, the band has gone on to perform their danceable fusion of vintage reggae, Congolese soukous, American soul, funky African grooves, and deep tribal chants on some of the world’s most prestigious stages.
“As harrowing as these personal tales may be, the music buoying them is uplifting.” —New York Times
