RE: Answers to your questions in your e-mail date June 11th, 22008 regarding
“The Sudanese Music & Dance Festival 2008”
Dear Ahmed,
Thank you for inquiry. Dr. Mutwakil Mahmoud and all the artists and myself represent a cultural
nonprofit organization, ISAMI- International Sudanese Arts & Music institute, devoted to the
promotion, preservation and development of SUDANESE MUSIC, ITS ARTIST’S & CULTURAL
ARTS throughout the world.
The City of Chicago is the city of Chicago and they call their special cultural programs such as
this "Music with out Borders". You know because of the American Sanctions against Sudan that
neither the city of Chicago nor my company Dawn Elder Management or Dr. Mutwakil as a legal
American Citizen, or the participating musicians/artists are legally aloud to receive any financial
compensation or any other support from the Sudanese Government and its embassy’s in
America. In addition this event is held in collaboration with the US Lost Boys of Sudan in the city
of Chicago, with some other Darfurians. The honorary guest is Manute Bol.
Dawn Elder Management is my company, and I have devoted the last 20 years of my life to
composing and producing music as a bridge to cultural understanding between people through
music, which has been known as the International Friendship Festival - and the “Peace through
music" Series. And the "We are the Future with Quincy Jones" whom I work with.... and many
other celebrity artists from around the world. Attached find a recent article written on my work in
the Los Angeles Times. Additionally I have included the article in the New York Times, and the
multiple features done on Afropop Radio and Afropop on line...for the first Sudanese Music &
Dance Festival ever 2007 held last year in New York. This was also funded solely by myself, Dr.
Mutwakil, and the City of New York, Central Park... and was free.
The Sudanese Information Center of Los Angeles was formed in 1992 and is a non profit
organization that dealt with getting Sudanese in America their political asylum (more than 1000
documented cases) and also helped Sudanese in Medical treatment, educational and social
programs. It has no relationship whatsoever with the Sudanese Government or its embassy’s in
America. In fact it efforts are directed against the current Sudanese regime. As an Internationally
recognized music producer, and composer in 1997 it was my great honor to one first meet and
then work with Dr. Mutwakil who is the president of the Sudanese Information Center in of Los
Angeles in documenting the legendary artist and musician Mohamed Wardi at the time that their
was a religious ban on him and his songs in Sudan. And this is how I become so passionate
about the music and artists of Sudan. I was so impressed by their talent and beautiful art form,
that they literally won my heart. And this is why I do this work for Sudanese Cultural Arts, and its
artists.
TO BE COMPLETELY CLEAR:
No support what so ever financially or morally have been given or accepted by us from
neither the SUDANESE GOVERNMENT nor the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, DC or
the Sudanese UN Mission in New York for last in Central Park NY, or this year (Chicago
and Detroit) or any future events.
I am personally funding this along with the following;
1. The City of Chicago with the theater, general, staging production, and two nights of hotels
for the group only.
2. Dr. Mutwakil is personally funding it with all the expenses of air flights, visas, hotels,
etc bringing the musicians and artists here. I restate again that no funds or any type
of support has been accepted by Dr, Mutwakil Mahmoud from the Sudanese
Government or its Embassy’s in America.
This has been a major undertaking and we are all working hard to make this free non paid event
.a great presentation for all Sudanese & American audiences. This event is a celebration of the
Sudanese Music & Dance Culture from all parts of Sudan. We hope that it can help the world see
the incredible beauty and amazing talent of all the people of Sudan, through music and how
important their music is to the rest of the world.
The artists are donating their time beyond overall general expenses. And we are doing are very
best to be able to keep providing this type of opportunities to the International Audiences to get
to know all about the Sudanese Art, Music and Dance culture.
We (Dawn Elder, Dr. Mutwakil Mahmoud, Manute Bol, Molwal of the Lost boys of Sudan in
Chicago) would be willing more than happy to answer any further questions by you or anyone one
else.
I look forward to working with you and meeting you in person next month. Please feel free to call
me anytime with further questions. I hope now all of us will work together in unity for this very
important cultural presentation. Sudanese music is something that needs to be shared with the
whole world. It is truly beautiful.
Much respect,
Dawn Elder
