Subway Musicians Donate Half Their Profit for Haiti Relief

Virginian djembe player Erich Woodrum and Cameroonian balafonist Francois Nnang met only a few weeks ago, but are fast friends. The pair plays nearly everyday together at the Union Square subway station and has decided that they're going to donate half of their profits for a week to the Red Cross for its Haiti relief efforts.

"It's about expressing our solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Haiti," Woodrum said. "We're letting people know that we care and we're doing something about it so hopefully they'll be inspired to do something as well."


Update: Jowy over at The Subway Art Blog picked the story too.
