About
Choose a Musician's Campaign, Lend, Get Repaid
1. Music Fans like you can browse Campaigns of Musicians and choose an artist to lend to. When you lend, using Paypal or your credit card, Microfundo collects the funds and then passes them along to the artist once they've reached their goal.
2. Over time the artist is able to repay the loan via sales of digital downloads of their music that is distributed through Microfundo's media partners at Natonal Geographic and Mondomix.
3. When you get your money back you can re-lend to another artist Campaign or choose to purchase their artists' new releases or you can simply keep your money.
You, the fan, provide microfunding for musicians from one of the unlikely music capitals of the world - the townships of Capetown, South Africa, say, or the favelas in Salvador, Brazil. You are directly engaged in their creative process - making new and completely unique recordings that wouldn't exist without your assistance.

A popular greeting song which expresses the joy of finally seeing someone who has been away for a long time and the desire to just dance, sing and be friends forevermore . So much time has passed since the last encounter that “ Peel head John Crow sid dung pon tree top, pick off de blossom”( the equivalent of saying I have not seen you for so long , hell has frozen over). Note that Crows (called “John Crows” in Jamaica)are carnivorous creatures, they would never eat blossoms from trees. . This is a modern arrangement by Jamaican composer, Peter Ashbourne
