Haitian Mass Choir added to the C2C Haiti- 'Hope and A Future' Benefit concert!!

Music Legend- Gloria Gaynor @ 'Hope and A Future' benefit concert for Haiti..

Music legend Gloria Gaynor and a host of “friends for Haiti,” will join Brooklyn-based nonprofit Community2Community (C2C) for the “Hope and A Future” benefit concert for Haiti at the Apollo Theater, Jan. 12, 2011 – the anniversary of the tragic earthquake that claimed more than 300,000 lives.
Sponsored by the Consulat Général de la République D’Haïti à New York (Office of the Haitian Consul General – New York), Christian Cultural Center and Determined To Educate, in partnership with The New York Daily News, The Amsterdam News and Positive Community Magazine, the event will feature an eclectic mix of inspirational, jazz, R&B, Hip-hop, Haitian music, spoken word and dance along with special vignettes spotlighting Haitian culture and history.
WLIB/WBLS radio personality Liz Black will host the concert featuring performances by Ronald K. Brown’s Evidence Dance Company; Haitian DJ Hard Hittin’ Harry and The Earthman Experience; jazz artists Barbara King; Haitian Rapper/Poet Mecca; trumpeter Curtis Haywood; gospel group C3YC; Boots step team, vocal stylist Thurston Daniel, Yaz Band, Wisdom, Wanda Nash and more.
Gloria Gaynor was not in the U.S. at the time of the earthquake in Haiti. When she returned one week later, she wanted to help. She offered the gift of music and her celebrity to various organizations and benefit concerts, but the outpouring of support among the entertainment community was so great, and so quickly mobilized, there was nothing she could do. So she took it upon herself to secure donations for the Red Cross and Unicef through Facebook and YouTube.
