World Jamboree

The World Jamboree is a world music and food inter-faith annual event which raises vital funds for Health Poverty Action, an international development charity working to improve the health of the world’s poorest people. The event, now in its third year, has grown year on year and is set to continue this trend with new artists being introduced to the line up. Musicians and artists will include the likes of acclaimed vocalist and kirtan leader Nikki Slade, sufi stars Silk Road, jazz with Toni Green accompanied by Ashley Knight, Moroccan vocalist Abdelkader Saadoun, blue grass star Yan Yates, Sebastian Blake hailed by many as the Buddhist prince and rising African vocalist Namvula Rennie. Chefs from around the world cook up a feast of fantastic flavours. Last year saw food from Italy, France, India, Japan, America and Angola. For the first time this year the event will be screened live across the world by Osargenews.com which was launched recently to bring together news from Africa and the African diaspora. The event is introduced by several faith leaders, including Buddhist youth division leader Kiyoshi Inoue, Rabbi Natan Levy, Satyas Minhas and and Iman Muhammad Al-Hussaini. At a time of rising religious tensions in the UK and around the world, World Jamboree is a welcome reminder of the possibility of interfaith co-operation and aims to break down the barriers between religions and initiate a dialogue of cohesion.
