Cut Chemist to spin for Robin Lim

Lakota Moira — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:06:12 +0000

This Sunday, February 26th, 2012, Waterbom Bali will be hosting “Sounds of Life” a charity concert for Bumi Sehat Foundation to support Robin Lim in achieving her vision to continue offering free healthcare services for financially challenged women in Bali and Aceh. Last December Robin Lim was honored as the CNN Hero of 2011 for her midwifery work in Indonesia and Haiti which has saved hundreds of lives and delivered thousands of babies over the last decade. After 13 years of service and frequent financial challenges, “Ibu” (Mother) Robin and her organization remain persistently committed to changing the world, one gentle birth at a time.

The concert will kick off at 7pm with opening acts by DJ David J, Soldiers of Sound, Stephanie Bovill, and Devdan. Headlining the event is USA based DJ Cut Chemist, a veteran in the international music scene – he is a founding member of legendary Hip-Hop group Jurassic 5 and former member of Latin funk band Ozomatli. The turntablist extraordinaire will bring his envelope pushing live show to Bali following the end of his Australian ‘Sound of the Police’ tour. ABC News (US) describes his show as, “a whirling, groovy, funkified collection of African beats, horns, melt-your-face-off bass lines and some good old hip-hop ingenuity.” Here’s a taste of Cut Chemist to get you funkified:

Be a part of this vision for positive change and support a great cause by attending.

Song: Orangutan
Music by: Navicula
Lyrics by: Gede Roby Supriyanto

Orangutan muda, rumahnya di belantara,
Dijaga papa dan mama yang kemarin masih ada
Kini tiada…

Orangutan muda diculik perambah rimba
Dibawa paksa ke kota, jadi hiburan manusia
Terpenjara…

Orangutan (6x)
Orangutan akan jadi legenda

Orangutan gila karena manusia gila
Tak betah tinggal di kota, dia rindu habitatnya
Di rimba…

Orangutan murka mengamuk serang manusia
Manusia bawa senjata, orangutan tertawa
Terbang ke surga…

Orangutan (6x)
Orangutan akan jadi legenda

_______________

“Orangutan Lyrics” English translation:

A young orangutan, his home in the wilds,
Was cared for by papa and mama only yesterday
But now they are gone.

A young Orangutan was kidnapped by an encroacher in the jungle
Forcibly brought to the city to become human entertainment
Imprisoned…

Orangutan (6x)
The orangutan will become a legend

The Orangutan is crazy because man is crazy
Not at home in the city, he misses its habitat
In the jungle…

The furious Orangutan wreaks havoc, attacking humans
The humans carry weapons, the Orangutan laughs
Flies to heaven…

Orangutan (6x)
The Orangutan will become a legend

In discussion with Ibu Robin Lim

Lakota Moira — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 07:01:09 +0000

October 26, 2011 “A Message of Love from Ibu Robin Lim”
Wednesday, 26 October 2011 at 19:00 at Danes Art Veranda, Jalan Hayam Wuruk 159, Denpasar.

With every pregnancy and birth to bring new life into the world, we are also facing the risk of loss: the loss of a mother’s life. In Indonesia, maternal and infant mortality rates are still very high for Asia standards.

Midwives are the spearhead to improve the health of mothers and infants, and to reduce the mortality rates. In rural areas, it is midwives who are first contacted by community members when the pains of labor begin or if there are complications during delivery. One of these midwives is Robin Lim. Through the Bumi Sehat Clinic in Ubud, Bali, Robin Lim has assisted in providing free health services since 2003. “In the first 8 months of 2011 alone, Bumi Sehat has offered free healthcare services to over 20,500 patients and assisted in the delivery of almost 400 babies.” says Robin Lim.

Her social work has now received appreciation, Robin Lim has been nominated as a 2011 CNN Hero this past March. It takes nine months before the CNN Hero of the Year is announced, which will be this December 11th. Nine months, the same time it takes for an infant to grow in the womb.
