Free Burma concert to voice support for democracy activists

The Taiwan Free Burma Network — an alliance of more than 100 groups
supporting the democracy movement in Myanmar — will hold a Free Burma
Concert tomorrow as part of an internationally coordinated campaign
calling on Myanmar's military junta to release more than 2,000 political
prisoners.

“This is the first time we will be holding a public Free Burma Concert
at an outdoor location,” Tsai Ya-ju (蔡雅如), an executive member of the
group, told the Taipei Times. “In the past three years [since the first
concert in Taiwan], we've always had the concert indoors.”

Free Burma Concerts in Taiwan are held annually on June 19, the birthday
of Myanmar democracy pioneer Aung San Suu Kyi.

“The problem with holding indoor concerts was that we always attracted
the same crowd — activists or people who already know about these freedom
movements,” Tsai said. “This time, we want people who probably don't
know much about the situation in Myanmar — students, kids, or ordinary
moms and dads — to join us.”

Tsai said she believed music was the most effective way to get their
message across.

Several bands — including Kou Chou Ching (拷秋勤), StreetVoice, Indulge,
Chang Tieh-chih (張鐵志) and Ko Chih-hao (柯志豪) — will perform at the
concert.

“Through our music, we hope to encourage more people to find out what's
going on in Myanmar,” said Fan Chiang (范姜), a member of the hip hop
band Kou Chou Ching.

“I think supporting the Myanmar and Tibetan causes, as well as justice
for Tiananmen Square Massacre victims, are equally important. People in
Taiwan know more about the Tibetan movement, but not enough about the
situation in Myanmar.”

Although most of Kou Chou Ching's works are about Taiwanese history,
politics, national identity and social phenomena, Fan Chiang said there
was still a connection between the band's music and Myanmar.

“For example, one of our songs, Civil Revolt, tells the story of uprisings
in Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty rule because the government was too
corrupt and repressive,” he said. “This is the same as in Myanmar.”

Other than enjoying the music, people are also invited to write notes to
political prisoners in Myanmar or write postcards to the military junta
calling for their release, Tsai said.

The concert will be held from 7pm to 9pm tomorrow at Yonghe City's (永和)
Park No. 4 at the intersection of Jhongan (中安路) and Yongjhen (永貞路)
roads near the Yongan Market MRT station.
