Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to party as South Africa’s Sharon Katz & The Peace Train bring their Afro-Jazz-Folk-Rock fusion of global music and dance to Philly to celebrate 25 years of world touring and the release of their new songbook. After helping Nelson Mandela end Apartheid with their tour aboard The Peace Train, the band’s international career has featured performances and workshops on three continents; 10 albums including 5 on the Grammy ballot; starring in the award-winning film, When Voices Meet; and being recorded along with Elton John, Tina Turner and Paul Simon for Sting’s Carnival! Album. Sharon continues to use her music to promote humanitarian causes worldwide with proceeds from her performances going toward building a school, supporting an orphanage, and providing meals and after-school mentorship in South Africa. In recent years, Sharon has been working in the border region between Mexico and California with migrant youth, girls rescued from trafficking, and survivors of torture. The new songbook will be used around the world to promote peacebuilding and social justice.
