ELECTRONIC SESSION

The dance music scene frequently uses African influenced music and rhythm. Sampling vocals and percussions of African origin often help DJ's to achieve huge success with their tracks. Meanwhile the political situation throughout the world is reaching an ever-growing imbalance from which the poorest are made to suffer. Especially in Africa, children have it very hard. They are growing up in an environment that offers poor resources and are exposed to a life of inhuman circumstances. No education, no medical care and worst of all, not enough to eat.

In order to support these children and to aid their fight against poverty, the charity project 'It Began In Africa' was set up by Juliet Sikora and Tube & Berger. Together with other artists from the dance music scene they want to help raise money for the organization 'The African Children's Choir™'.

In cooperation with The African Children's Choir™, 18 artists featuring Timo Maas & Format:B made their own interpretations of the original songs from The African Children's Choir™. All profits made from the sale of this compilation will be donated to the choir and their further projects; i.e. building schemes, the founding of nurseries, and schools to help children get away from a life on the streets.
"With this project we sincerely hope to be able to support the children of Africa and empower them so that one day they will be able to help themselves".
