Afro-beat concert to raise funds for youth soccer - Sat Feb. 7th

Alex Kajumulo and Original Sound present a fundraiser for local youth soccer on Saturday, February 7th at Fircrest in Shoreline.

According to his website, Alex performs Afro-Beat, Reggae and Hip-Hop music. He was born in Tanzania and now lives somewhere in the Seattle area. He's also a lifelong soccer enthusiast. You can learn more about him and hear some of his music at the websites linked below. I like the song "Original Sound" at alexkajumulo.com.
