<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Hello, my name is Josh Seidman and
I'm emailing you regarding an upcoming<br>
cultural event called The Afro Semitic Experience. They are a jazz
band<br>
that explores the musical intersection of the African and Jewish
Diasporas.<br>
A band that crosses cultural and musical heritages, from jazz standards
to<br>
Eastern European Klezmer; from gospel and blues to Middle Eastern
Sephardic<br>
Melodies; from spirituals to hip-hop and alternative rock. <br>
<br>
It is FREE, open to the public, and is being held on February 20th at
7:30pm<br>
in the Student Union Ballroom/The Student Union Building at
Umass/Amherst. <br>
<br>
I'm sending you a press kit with some pictures because we are
requesting<br>
that you put it in your calendar. Please help make this incredible
event a<br>
success. Thank you and SPREAD THE WORD!!<br>
<br>
Respectfully yours, <br>
