Sitting in a dusty refugee camp in Guinea in 2004, Reuben M. Koroma, the founder of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, could not have imagined what the near future would hold for him and the members of his band. In just six whirlwind years, the group has gone from being unknown musicians languishing in various refugee camps to being the subject of an acclaimed documentary film, touring the world to support a critically revered album, appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and sharing the stage and studio with Aerosmith and other international stars.
Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars have risen like a phoenix out of the ashes of war and inflamed the passions of fans across the globe with their uplifting songs of hope, faith and joy. The band is a potent example of the redeeming power of music and the ability of the human spirit to persevere through unimaginable hardship and emerge with optimism intact.

Pick me please!
My wife and I saw them a couple of years ago at Music Millennium and loved them so much that we bought tickets for their Wonder Ballroom shown that evening. It was a fantastic show.
My wife’s birthday is in mid-May, so this would make a great surprise birthday gift. So please pick me!

I have been living by the Aladdin for a year and am very sadly leaving my home next week. Before my forced move it would love to go check out the Aladdin. I love the refugee all stars. Please help me out. It would be an amazing way to say goodbye to the fantastic brooklyn community.
