Working with the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces, the United States Government is proud to sponsor another nationwide HIV/AIDS tour by internationally acclaimed musicians Steady Bongo and the Cultural Heroes.  Steady and his band will perform live and free of charge all across Sierra Leone and the concerts will feature music from their newly recorded album “RSLAF and Steady Bongo” so don’t miss it.  The album and concerts are all about reconciling and repairing military-civilian relations through music, and as Steady says: “watch out for HIV/AIDS. It is real and it kills.” The concerts are for all Sierra Leoneans to attend, civilian and military.  All concerts starts at 7:00PM and are held at the RSLAF barracks in the following towns, on the following dates:
