WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?

Haiti to see Wanito live again!

[peacetonesorg-blog]

Wanito is a superbly talented musician from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, who won a contest we ran in Haiti last summer with his original music.  Wanito’s music is a unique blend of acoustic guitar, reggae, and hip-hop and has an incredible ability to capture both the complex troubles and the simple pleasures of Haitian life.

Where does the money from your donations and purchases go?

When you buy a Peacetones album, 90% of the amount you pay for the album goes back to the artists who created it.  Of that 90%, a certain percentage (negotiated and agreed-to by the artists and Peacetones) is invested by the artists back into their communities through development projects.  The remaining 10% of your money helps Peacetones with marketing existing artists, finding new artists to support, and helps cover our day-to-day administrative costs, in combination with grant funding.

Your gift will support artists across the world to contribute to the growth of their local economy, bringing sustainability and peace for a better world.
