FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES – January 24 – The album Save My Soul - Music To Prevent Malaria, a compilation of songs performed by children affected by malaria, was released today by Sonicwave™ Media.
Proceeds from each 21-track disc sold will be used to purchase insecticide-treated mosquito nets in Zambia, where malaria is a pandemic.
"Malaria kills 3,000 kids a day and mosquito nets are the most cost-effective way to prevent this tragedy," said the album's producer, Edward Lyman.
Nets are placed over beds to shield people from malaria-carrying mosquitoes, which bite their victims primarily at night.
Lyman and his crew traveled to Zambia with a group of humanitarians from Los Angeles that distributes free mosquito nets throughout the country.
"We followed the group to Africa, initially filming a documentary about its efforts.
We were affected by what we witnessed and used our resources to create a product that would help save lives,” Lyman said. “Children are dying right now, they need these nets immediately."
The music compilation showcases the optimistic spirit of children living in extreme adversity. The CD was recorded live, on location in bush camps, remote villages, orphanages, tribes, places of worship and inner cities.
The CD retails at $20. The record label, Sonicwave™ Media, LLC, will contribute one mosquito net for every CD sold to the Los Angeles, Watts/Willowbrook Rotary Club's malaria net fund.
The Rotary Club will in turn double the amount of nets the record label donates with a matching grant from Rotary International, club president LeRoy Jones said.
