Aung San Suu Kyi Tribute Album
Posted on 21. Sep, 2004 by admin in Damien News.
Damien has contributed a live version of Lonely Soldier to a new benefit album for Aung San Suu Kyi, the imprisoned Burmese pro-democracy advocate, which is due for release on October 26th. You can read the tracklisting for this album here.
Aung San Suu Kyi is the world’s only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient. For her efforts to promote democracy and human rights in Burma, she has garnered the support of President Bill Clinton, Senator John McCain, former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Desmond Tutu, among others. For the past 14 years, she has been under house arrest by Burma’s repressive junta. In March 2000 she was awarded the Freedom of the City of Dublin, while under house arrest in Burma. You can learn more about her here.
Earlier this year Damien visited refugee camps in Burma and met with dissidents struggling for freedom and democracy in Burma.
