amnesty international launched Make Some Noise about a year and a half ago ... MSN is about music with a message...this ground-breaking venture from amnesty international mixes music, celebration and action to protect individuals wherever justice, freedom and equality are denied...with exclusive john lennon covers, artist videos and opportunities to make an impact...MSN is meant to inspire a new generation to stand up for human rights...the most powerful group to emerge from this project is JAGUARES...they play before crowds of 100,000 in mexico and have played before huge audiences when touring the u.s...
the group's latest album, Cronicas de un Laberinto (Chronicles of a Labyrinth), is a statement about how mexico is still searching for the right mix of social justice and economic prosperity...fo
r example on the bittersweet tune Madera (Wood), lead singer saul hernández envisions a wood that "is resistant to all weeping" and "resurrects in ciudad juarez" -- a reference to the unsolved killings of hundreds of women in the cities of juarez and chihuahua (highlighted in amnesty international's campaign to stop violence against women)...check out the jaguares page on amnesty international's make some noise site or check their official web site (in spanish) out by clicking here...
oh yeah, go out and MAKE SOME NOISE!
peace out <3
