Duane StarksSTARFEST WORLDWIDE, INC., Holds Press Conference on Wednesday, January 12th at the Raleigh Hotel in South Beach to Announce Upcoming Concert in Miami with a special tribute to Haiti and debut of the documentary trailer. Miami Beach, Florida — Jan 11, 2011 / (http://www.myprgenie.com) — STARFEST MULTICULTURAL WORLDWIDE is launching the second tour in the USA with its first stop in Miami, FL. Originally, the concert was planned to take place on the one year anniversary day of the earthquake — January 12th 2011, but due to Haiti’s Presidential election, there is violence and a great deal political upheaval. Not to mention, STARFEST was also faced with the outbreak of cholera. “Now is not the safest time to go and produce this large scale event with our Artists. So we decided to stay in Miami, but we will be back in Haiti soon,” say the concert producers of STARFEST. The Haitian government advised the organization to hold off with the plans until much of the violence subsides.
Last year STARFEST produced the largest concert in Haiti’s history, amassing over 500,000 people from all over the country. In an effort to rebuild the community and install new educational programs, STARFEST’s mission is through music. It is the universal movement that has brought hundreds of thousands of people together with the first concert starting back in December 2009.
The organization’s mission is to produce the second installment of the “STARFEST MUSICAL FESTIVAL” in an effort to rebuild schools, hospitals and improve health conditions for the betterment of the community. Their efforts are focused on the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals which are to eradicate poverty and hunger, achieve universal primary education, promote equality and youth empowerment, and to create a healthy, sustainable living environment to name a few.
STARFEST is one of the few organizations that strive to focus on the fundamental needs of the people in one of the poorest living conditions in the Western Hemisphere.
STARFEST is partnering with several organizations whose goals align with many of the same initiatives such as The Hip Hop Summit Youth Council, Prime Entertainment
Worldwide, Inc., and Upper Management Group. One of the immediate goals of STARFEST is to ascertain media attention and to not let the focus of the people slip away. With the support of the star-studded lineup of performers, the concert will help put Haiti back on the map and resound efforts to continue building, donating and contributing to the cause in any way possible.
