BURBANK, California (April 21, 2005) – World-renowned Egyptian singer, Iman

El-Bahr Darwish, will be performing this Sunday to benefit the victims of the

humanitarian crisis in Palestine. Joining Darwish on stage will be Napoleon, a

rap artist formerly of Tupac Shakur’s Outlawz.

Funds at the event will be collected by Burbank, CA based charity Islamic

Relief USA.

A popular Arabic singer in the Middle East, Darwish will be making a tour of

major US cities performing at various benefit concerts. This will be his only

performance in Boston during the tour.

The ongoing conflict in Palestine has created a humanitarian crisis, preventing

thousands of Palestinian families from living normal lives. Many have lost their

jobs and homes and are forced to live in poverty. According to the United

Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the decline in the well-being and quality of

life of Palestinian children has been rapid and profound.
