World Hepatitis Day CD - May 19

[Marcia2202]

Thought you might be interested that my hubby (Moussa Diallo) was asked to contribute a tune for this compilation CD in support of hep c.  The tune is called Yeleen

I copied the following from the AHCS (Australian Hep C Support site)

The album is called This Day: World Hepatitis Day

Dear all,

Over the last year the World Hepatitis Alliance has been working with well-known musicians from around the world to develop an album of songs to be launched on World Hepatitis Day 2010. It includes collaborations by artists of diverse nationalities to represent and reinforce the importance of global co-operation in tackling hepatitis B and C.

The album is called This Day: World Hepatitis Day

The World Hepatitis Alliance has developed the album for supporting organisations and patient groups to sell in their own country to raise awareness around World Hepatitis Day.   All money that is made by selling these CDs can be kept by the organisation, and all that the Alliance asks is that they register their interest in selling hard copies of the album with them first.   As a guide the CD will be sold in the UK for £5.99 or 6.99 Euros.  Please sell the CD at an appropriate price for your country.

Please note that only the World Hepatitis Alliance is permitted to sell digital downloads of the album.  Any other group who uploads the album to websites for downloading will be asked to remove it.

On Monday 19 April 2010 the album, all associated artwork and promotional materials will be made available for you to download from a file sharing site.  You can then use this to make copies.  A reminder email will be sent to you once the album is ready for you to download.  If you would like to take part in this campaign please register your interest by emailing ***@****

All copyright and royalty considerations have been managed by the WHA.  We have been granted a royalty free period of ONE YEAR from 19 May 2010 until 19 May 2011 so you can keep 100% of any sales you make in that 12 months period.

We hope you are as excited by this project as we are.  It is truly a major step in getting the entertainment industry to support our cause and will hopefully help raise awareness and understanding of hepatitis around the world.

Below is the track listing for the CD.

Thank your hubby for making a difference!

So nice to see people are contributing their time and talents to spreading the word about HBV &HCV. If we all do our bit in whatever way we can, we can make a better world for all the infected people throughout the world.

Cheers!

The CD will be released on May 19th.

Info on where and how to purchase will be announced on

http://www.worldhepatitisalliance.org

The album is available through Amazon in the UK, and via patient groups internationally. The patient groups have been offered it for free, as the proceeds go to the patient groups for hepatitis B & C work. You should ask your patient groups, they should have it. Also it will be made available on iTunes.

[Marcia2202]

Thank you for all your positive words!

I don't know where it will be available. Unfortunately I do not know more than what it says in this article. We were supposed to go to London for the launch, but the hubby is touring in Africa at the moment.

I will contact them and ask where it will be available and let you all know.

[Trish77]

Thanks for posting this.  Sounds like a great project and initiative of WHA.  Will pass this info along to other parties as well.  Nice tribute for you and special that your husband has contributed to this.  Lovely.

You know I think I remember you mentioning it way back when now.....I guess I had forgotten about it. Only so much memory fits into my brain then it has to hit delete it would seem.

[portann]

Kewl stuff, Marcia! I've got to have it for my ipod! Will it be in the iTunes store?

That's awesome Marcia - what a wonderful gesture of support;  points to you both.

[child24angel]

This is truly for a great cause !!

[Marcia2202]

Thanks. Strange how things work, they contacted him about this while I was treating. He was happy that he could contribute to this cause. Especially since his little wifey was going through tx.

[nygirl7]

That is just a real honor to be asked to contribute something for such a cause near and dear (well to be truthful absolutely loathed LOL) to our hearts (the disease not the cause!).

Once they come out with downloads I will make sure to get a copy (since I don't have any euros that is for sure!).  

Congrats to you both that is really cool!

[Marcia2202]

Thanks sweetie, I will... when he gets home one day... :-) I feel like a sailor's wife.

I can see that they are really doing a lot of work with the 2010 hepatitis campaign worldwide.
