Tropical Cyclone Idai hit eastern Zimbabwe (and Mozambique and Malawi) in March, causing unprecedented destruction of life from a natural disaster in the region. Homes and whole sections of towns and infrastructures were swept away, and hundreds died and thousands went missing and are presumed dead. This Pan-African Homecoming concert and exhibition at UCSB seeks to augment an on-going campaign to raise $10,000 to help relieve and rehabilitate those directly affected in Zimbabwe. It complements efforts by the Zimbabwe Musicians ’ Union, citizens, government and relief organizations on the ground.
