The event, sponsored by the Wisconsin Coalition to Normalize Relations with Cuba, is from 7 to 11 p.m. at the United Community Center, 1028 S. 9th St., and will feature Cuban and Latin American music and musicians, including the newly formed group RUMBRAVA made up of Afro-Caribbean percussionist Luis Diaz, cellist Ana Ruth Bermudez, and Mrs. Fun pianist Connie Grauer and drummer Kim Zick. Tony Baez will perform Latin American folk songs, and Fuego Musical, a Milwaukee salsa group, will also play.
A donation of $10 is suggested.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Wisconsin Medical Project, a Madison-based humanitarian organization that has an export and travel license to send medical supplies and medical equipment to the province of Camaguey, said Art Heitzer of the coalition.
The only hospital in the port city of Nuevitas was damaged during the hurricanes, and more than $1,000 has already been collected through an e-mail distribution and forwarded to the public health department there, said Raul Galvan, who helped form the sister city relationship between Milwaukee and Nuevitas.
Ricardo Gonzalez, president of the Madison Camaguey Sister City Association, visited Camaguey in October and will report on the conditions he found. Recovery efforts from Hurricane Ike were under way when Paloma hit, which created a setback, he said. Hurricane Gustav had hit the area earlier.
"I was told that about 5,000 homes had been destroyed," he said. "The biggest damage was to crops, agricultural installations and food warehouses. Mango, avocado and fruit trees in Camaguey were hit," he said.
It had been 45 years since a hurricane struck in Camaguey, he said.
Advance tickets for the fund-raiser are available through the coalition, 633 W. Wisconsin Ave., Suite 1410, (414) 273-1040; cubawi friends@mindspring.com; www.wicuba.org; and Peace Action Wisconsin, 1001 E. Keefe Ave., (414) 964-5158.
