The U.S. Treasury Department has approved American participation in "Music Bridges Around The World," an initiative of U.S. songwriter Alan Roy Scott in conjunction with Cuba's Instituto Cubano de la Musica and Ministerio de Cultura. The project will feature 40 U.S. and British artists, who will co-write songs with 40 Cuban musicians in Havana from March 21-29, culminating in a free concert. Other artists confirmed include Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland, Mick Fleetwood, Indigo Girls, Montell Jordan, Kris Kristofferson, Lisa Loeb, and Me'Shell Ndegeocello. In the last decade, Scott has held similar exchanges in the former Soviet Union, Romania, Indonesia, and Ireland. -- David Stark, London ------------------------------ End of god-shiva-digest V2 #15 ******************************
