Colombiage – Europe’s most influential celebration of contemporary Colombian culture – is delighted to announce the First Colombiage Literary Salon, a series of literary events that combine the high thought of books with the boogie down feeling of Colombian parranda. Our goal is to bring the leading writers of today, give them a space to talk about their passions, then let the debate continue into a night of music, food and drink. Our first event – in partnership with the Brixton based literary agency Tibor Jones & Associates – was MUSIC MADE ME DO IT, a night devoted to how music inspires and informs literature. See here the highlights of the evening!

21/09/2011 – MANU CHAO ARIZONA CONCERT
From Because Music official announcement: “Manu Chao will perform a concert in Phoenix, Arizona on 21st September to protest against anti-immigrant policies that have made the state of Arizona a “capital of prejudice.” The free concert will be held in collaboration with the National Day Laborer Organising Network, whose ‘Alto Arizona’ campaign is part of an ongoing effort to bring visibility, recognition, dignity and healing to migrants who have been targets of hate in Arizona and around the world.
Last year, Arizona passed Senate Bill 1070, the most anti-immigrant legislation the US has seen in a generation. The passage of SB 1070 by the House of Representatives in Arizona will have chilling repercussions if signed into law by Governor Brewer. The bill dramatically expands police powers to stop, question and detain individuals for not having proper identification, a move that will instigate racial profiling and drive a wedge between groups. The law is currently being blocked by a federal judge.” – Please, read more here and in the New Times Phoenix website.
