At its best, music is supposed to lift you up. This free concert from vulnerable children that found a new home and fresh hope at Uganda’s Watoto Church is the epitome of that idea. Watch some of the kids support a new album, We Will Go On, which tells the story of abandoned African children and vulnerable women, at this early (7 p.m.) show.
After posting this, a reader expressed concern about the anti-gay nature of the Watoto church. While we're not inclined to politicize a choir of kids, CL is always willing to hold a church's feet to the fire. We regret the oversight, and would've probably would've written a less innocuous blurb and headline.
Watoto Children’s Choir. Fri. Jan. 25, 7 p.m. Donations accepted. Salvation Army, 38100 9th Ave. N., St. Petersburg. watoto.com.
