MAHIMA – Music For Life Benefit Concert | Oct. 2nd, 2011
“MAHIMA – MUSIC FOR LIFE”
MAHIMA was launched in November 2009 in honor of and to raise funds for the late Monique “Mahima” Geourzoung – close friend of the ZEN family – as she battled the effects of breast cancer.
In keeping with Monique’s wishes, ZEN has continued to host the event annually as a benefit concert for all other cancer patients of the HOPE INSTITUTE. This institution, a brainchild of the Jamaica Cancer Society, opened its doors in 1963 and today continues to provide top quality treatment and care for terminal cancer patients in Jamaica, at little or no cost to patients.
The Institute is solely funded by small government grants and kind private donations. As the sole facility of its kind in Jamaica it faces a unique challenge in keeping its doors open.
This years event is being held on SUNDAY OCTOBER 2, 2011 BETWEEN 6PM AND MIDNIGHT (SHOWTIME 8PM) ON THE LAWNS OF THE JAMAICA PEGASUS HOTEL.
Artistes confirmed to perform this year include TARRUS RILEY, JAH CURE, CHALICE, PROTOJE, CHERINE, CHINO, ROOTZ UNDERGROUND, JAH 9, BLUEGRASS IN THE SKY AND FARENHEIT.
Performers who have donated their time, energy and talent to previous Mahima events include Tammi Chynn, Tessan Chynn, TOK and Dubtonic.
