Inspired By a Night of Tragedy

Artists, technicians and promoters are donating their services to the concert, joining forces to underline Bali's message of peace to the world. In the words of the promoters and recalling the fateful night last October, the "concert is not so much a memorial, but a continuation of the party." Adding defiantly, "the music will not stop!"
