San Pedro, Belize (100 Thousand Musicians for Change)

 

 

It’s a worldwide concept that started out with “100 Thousand Poets for Change”, but the musicians around the world were invited the following year to get into the spirit of calling the world to change – a change from violence, political corruption, crime and all the negativity in the world.

Musician Tim Bud (aka Barefoot Skinny) spearheaded this movement in San Pedro, Belize, by gathering as much local musicians on Saturday, September 29, 2012.  Entertainers, musicians and singers from across all musical genres convened on stage at Roadkill Bar, on Coconut Drive, to jam for the cause.

“It was a very happy gathering with such a positive vibe,” commented Angel Perlita Zapata, who was also invited to play the drums with the group. “Nothing was rehearsed and the music was live; this is what made the event even more fun and special.”

Roadkill Bar blew up with lively music and people just gravitated to the wonderful atmosphere that was created by the event.
