PROJECTS:
LPDC LEONARD PELTIER CD:
The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee (LPDC) has begun work on a new tribute to Leonard Peltier compilation CD.
This CD will be very much like the "Songs for Leonard Peltier" album which came out several years ago, and included music from renowned artists like Jim Page, Bruce Cockburn, Joanne Shenandoah, Mitch Walking Elk, and Buffy Sainte-Marie.
The LPDC is looking for songs particularly and specifically about Leonard or about the general state of Native America but that include Leonard.
They have set a deadline of February 6th, 2007 (the anniversary of Leonard's arrest) for submission of music. All songs need to be submitted via MP3 and with lyrics to:
J.D.Nash (OglalaCommemorationCommittee)
-email: nash@betarecords.com
or to
ELS Herten (InternationalPeltierForum)
-email:ipforum@skynet.be
Now it'stime for YOUR work to begin.
If you don't have a song about Peltier
WRITE ONE!
ALL songs will be heard and the ones selected will be included on this new musical project. Proceeds from the sale of this CD will benefit the LPDC directly and help pay for Leonard's continuing legal battle for FREEDOM!
