D’bi young and African grandmothers and girls also joined the night's all star lineup along with host Jian Ghomeshi of the CBC 'Q' show hosting the evening of entertainment.
Stephen Lewis also had the pleasure of hearing the performers sing 'Happy Birthday' for his 75th birthday and said of the concert “I’m just thrilled by the performances from this amazing group of women, who generously came together to celebrate the real heroes of the pandemic – the courageous and indefatigable women of Africa who work with such decency and care to repair the fabric of their families and communities rent asunder by AIDS." The foundation helps people hardest hit by the AIDS pandemic in Africa who are living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.
You can catch the CBC Radio One broadcast on the night before World AIDS Day (Friday, November 30) or online at CBC's Concerts On Demand.
