[Please go to http://www.enoughproject.com/ to help support an end to the horrific conflict in the Congo, where more women and girls are raped than anywhere in the world, and hundreds of thousands have been killed. And if you buy a new computer or cellphone, donate a matching percentage (10% ? or 100% ?) to ending the war fuelled by our electronics industries. Please let this beautiful music inspire us.]
