M.A.D.D. Rhythms to perform at Fundraiser for Baba Kwesi’s “wrongly imprisoned” Son

Baba(Swahili for Father) Kwesi has produced a FREE Kwanzaa celebration since before M.A.D.D. Rhythms began. He has been a tireless crusader for the community and he works 24/7 to create solutions for the community. From Anti-Smoking Campaigns to Calls for Balance in the music permeating our children’s ears. He is fully vested in the betterment of our community and now he needs the community’s support. His son has been wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. As a matter of fact RaVaughn Harris wasn’t even there. M.A.D.D Rhythms’ main purpose has been to steer our youth in a positive direction and we are honored to be able to contribute our talent to help raise legal funds to put a positive, young, motivated brother back into society where he belongs. We hope you will support in any way you can.
