Community Radio WFHB, Student Radio WIUX, and Spirit of '68 Promotions join forces to raise funds for Hoosier Hills Food Bank's "25 for 25" campaign - a capital campaign targeted at establishing a new facility for HHFB. Twenty-five thousand square feet of warehouse and office space is needed for HHFB to continue providing assistance to 25,000 needy people from six counties in south-central Indiana.

To raise funds for this project, WFHB, WIUX and Spirit of '68 Promotions present the world music event of the season at the Bluebird Nightclub on Saturday April 26, 2008. Century 21 Realty Group has generously underwritten the production costs of this event.

Featured performers include NOMO, Sheasby Matiure's Mutinhimira Marimba
Ensemble & The Mbira Queens, and The Counts of Bounce DJ Crew.

Headlining the event is NOMO, the renowned eight-piece Afrobeat band from Detroit that wowed Bloomington music lovers at the 2006 Lotus Festival.

Opening the show will be Sheasby Matiure's Mutinhimira Marimba Ensemble & The Mbira Queens from Bloomington. Matiure, internationally known for his expertise in the traditional music of his native Zimbabwe, has been organizing and performing with these ensembles during his PhD studies in ethnomusicology at Indiana University. These performances will be his last in Bloomington, as he is soon relocating to Seattle, WA.
