Lila Downs will take part in the Poetic Social Mission: a special global broadcast event taking place on October 9, 2009. The goal of this event is to raise awareness surrounding the issues of water in the world today. Participants include: Bono, Salma Hayek, Peter Gabriel, Joss Stone, Shakira, Bindi Irwin, Al Gore, Matthew McConaughey and many more.
An initiative of Cirque du Soleil and One Drop Foundation founder Guy Laliberte, the Poetic Social Mission will be presented on the occasion of Guy's 10-day stay aboard the International Space Station. The event will take place over the period of two hours, featuring artistic performances in 14 cities around the world. The heart of the show centers around "One Poem" written by Yann Martel, especially for the occasion, that is unveiled in each city as a verse of the poem is read. Lila will perform one song LIVE in Mexico City on October 9th at approximately 7:40 pm, local time, beginning with a poem verse delivered by Salma Hayek. The performance represents the Mexico portion of the program, which focuses specifically on the importance of water in agriculture and food security. This event will be broadcast globally online at onedrop.org through a partnership with AOL and a highlights program will be broadcast through local TV partners in the major territories across the world. Go to www.onedrop.org to see the schedule listed local times, watch some wonderful live performances, and learn more about this extremely important issue. It affects every ONE.
