Zamboanga: Poverty, War, Music CD Release Concert
Sunday, November 8, 2009, a very special event took place at Yardley Hall on the Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, KS. It was the CD release concert for Zamboanga: Poverty, War, Music.
Zamboanga: Poverty, War, Music is a CFCA (Christian Foundation for Children and Aging) documentary film, set to be released in Spring 2010, that chronicles the lives of 12 teenagers in Zamboanga City, Philippines as they learn, practice, prepare and perform a concert for 10,000 people at the edge of the Philippine jungle.

The concert celebrated the release of the CD, Zamboanga: Poverty, War, Music, which includes songs inspired by the CFCA Documentary Film and written by Barclay Martin. Featured in the concert were the Barclay Martin Ensemble, along with the Sampaguita Choir and the Sinag-Tala Dance Troupe from the Filipino Cultural Center of the Filipino Association of Greater Kansas City, as they performed songs from the CD.
It is believed by many people that music has the power to change the world. In a country that is ridden with poverty and war, music helped bring together a community as 12 kids overcame their obstacles and performed a concert that will, thanks to CFCA, reach millions. It will be an exciting day when the documentary film Zamboanga: Poverty, War, Music is released.
If you love music and helping others who are less fortunate, consider purchasing a CD of the music from the documentary film. A $15 suggested donation for the CD goes towards CFCA's scholarship fund. It is a win-win situation; you purchase a CD with 10 beautiful, inspiring songs for you to listen to and enjoy, while your donation helps poverty-stricken children attend school when they otherwise would not be able to.

Kalingkawasa kapit-os hangtud tanaan
