Lullabies and Love Songs from the "Axis of Evil" -- A MoveOn Benefit
An enchanting evening of music, dance, and visual art celebrating the rich cultural traditions of Iraq & Iran, Korea and N.

Proceeds to benefit MoveOn.org and allied efforts to promote participatory democracy and peaceful civil society.
The evening's program includes all-female a capella ensemble singing from the Sudan, 5000 year-old traditional dances presented by the Morning Star Korean Cultural Center, Afro-Cuban music and dance presented by Bembe Olele , and Tarub, a very special trio of Iraqi and Palestinian musicians assembled especially for this event, playing folk music of Iraq and Syria.
