Dry Eye Crew are hailed as "the voice of the voiceless." Packing the =
national stadium for electrifying live performances, they are often =
likened to Bob Marley or Fela Kuti -speaking out against political and =
social injustices, the violence of the past years of civil war, =
promoting peace & reconciliation- and perhaps most importantly, =
spreading messages of universal love and hope. Best known in the US for =
contributing music to the Academy Award-nominated film Blood Diamond, =
B+DEC are excited for their US debut (album out in June 2010) and have =
been welcomed and cheered by acclaimed artists from Bill Laswell to The =

classic self-titled debut of 1969, The Stooges, 1970's Funhouse and =
