A brief program will engage attendees in activism to end a conflict that has taken 5.4 million lives and left hundreds of thousand of rape survivors in need of services, followed by a friendly competition between the Soukous and Bhangra dancers and musicians as they represent the best of their continents?
moves and grooves in the first such dual performance of its kind. The rest of the evening the crowd will shake to Indian, African and fusion sounds.

AMANI?s up-beat, infectious spirit, innovative cultural content and unifying message is sure to deliver the most electric evening?s entertainment in Washington, while attendees fund the services rape survivors in Congo need to move forward.
