Dholuo Music & Misango Arts Cultural Advocacy Proposal , Dan Oronje

Dear All in Diaspora,

Recently, I digitally re-mastered several Dholuo Records. I am enjoying these tracts enourmously, and would like all to do the same, so as to preserve our music and culture for ever.

Below are the listed cuts in 6 CDs. They are "A MUST" for every home.

I propose that anyone interested can own the package or any re-mastered individual CD provided:

1. That they send $10.00 (US Dollars) per CD of Remastered Dholuo Music to Misango Arts Ensemble of Kisumu c/o Obat Masira. It is intended that Misango Arts Ensemble will use the donated proceeds to promote our artists and our culture through the arts. Please note that Dan Oronje, The Footability Store! and/or MARIDADI, Inc. have no relation whatsoever with Misango Arts Ensemble and/or Obat Masira, though our interest and vision are mutual.

2. That Misango Arts Ensemble c/o Obat Masira will send us confirmation of receipt of $$$$ (US Dollars) from the interested party, specifying which CD compilation the patron kindly donated for.

3. That the interested party, having donated to Misango Arts Ensemble, c/o Obat Masira, will send to MARIDADI, Inc.

$12.00 (US Dollars) for S&H to continental US patrons, & $20.00 for S&H to International patrons

4. That MARIDADI, Inc.accept S&H fees as follows:

By phone VISA or MASTERCARD call (850) 597 0311

By Cheque or Money Order to MARIDADI, Inc. at the address below.

By Paypal - Send to money to footability@comcast.net (you will need a paypal account to do this)

Kindly let me know what you think. What I know for sure, is that this music collection is worth a million memories and is a very rare compilation. Here now are the CDs and the list of digitally re-mastered tracts.
