Dear Friends!<br clear="all">
<br>
<div>
<div>I am excited to announce the US tour of Karla Lara (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.karlalara.com" target="_blank">www.karlalara.com</a>).
She is one of the most famous Honduran singers and has been invited to
participate in the first ever Amnesty International Human Rights Art
Festival April 24-25 in DC. She also has a concert scheduled at Busboys
and Poets on Friday April 23rd. </div>
<div>You can see a list of events here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Karla's music has brought her to travel across Central America and
has two albums produced, 'Donde Andar' and 'Antes del Puente.' Having
been on the musical scene for over twenty years, Karla has used music
in promoting social movements and to challenge their "subjectivity
[using] poetry and song."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Karla has been instrumental in starting the first ever Central
American Feminist Band and has actively supported Artists in
Resistance, a group that has formed since the coup detat in Honduras on
June 28 2009. </div>

</div>
<div>I look forward to being in touch to help coordinate efforts. I
know it is late notice, but she is available from April 20th until the
29th, aside from the listed events on the Facebook page. While we
currently have no funds to make all this travel possible, we are hoping
to recuperate expenses by donations and some ticketed concerts,
therefore if your group/organization would like to host Karla but does
not have the funds, I am sure we can work something out. In Karla's
words: </div>
<div>If you are interested in hosting Karla Lara please do not hesitate
to contact me. It is also wonderful to reconnect with many of you!</div>
<div><br>

</div>
<div>Thank you for all your efforts and all the work you do. </div>
