Radio Free East Timor

Australian musicians have joined forces with the trade union movement to raise funds for 'Voz de Esperanza' (Voice of Hope), East Timor's only radio station.

A roster of bands have committed to benefit gigs throughout the year, to raise funds for a new transmitter for the station - part of the reconstruction of East Timorese infrastructure.

The concerts, to be held under the auspices of APHEDA and red Square music agency, will commence on April 13 and will include gigs in Wollongong, coinciding with the ACTU Congress in June and Newcastle.

People attending the gigs are also encouraged to bring old CDs which will be shipped up to Dili to be used by the station. Who knows? You could help shape the next trend in Timorese pop culture.

The campaign kicks of at the Harbourside Brasserie, Hickson Road, Millers Point, under the south end of the Harbour Bridge on Thursday April 13 at 7.30pm.

The line up for the night include:

- Barbalu (super Afro-Cuban salsa)

- Astro Tabasco (post apocalyptic lounge music)

- Dha (classical Indian/fusion)

- Monsieur Camembert (red hot gypsey jazz)

Tickets: $12 or $10 concession, available from Aaron Magner at the LHMU (9281 9577), Phil Davey at the CFMEU (9287 9387) or Peter Lewis at Labor Council (016 289335).
