The musical wizardry which permeated Ojos De Brujos’ last two albums was as refreshing as it was remarkable. ‘Bari’ (2002) and ‘Techari’ (2006) were both saturated with enough exotically intoxicating ideas to satisfy even the most demanding fusion junkie. ‘Memorias Peridias’, one of the standout tracks on ‘Bari’, still sweeps us of our feet every time we hear it. The latest album delivers more of that eclectic and vibrant mix. Expect flamenco, Catalan rumba (the Barcelona Gypsy version of Afro-Cuban dance music), hip-hop, tango, salsa, scratching, and more all fired up with the passion and spirit which is Ojos de Brujo. Aocana shows them further exploring those Cuban connections and also the Gypsy flamenco link back to India. Irresistible.

Many of you will be aware of the issue of so called ‘Blood Diamonds,’ partly due to Leonardo DeCaprio’s fine film. These are stones that were mined in a conflict zone and sold in order to fund a war or an insurgency or to support a warlord’s activities. Few people would like to think that the diamond they wear on their finger as a token of love has actually helped to fund the atrocities of wars that we hear about every day in the international news. 
The main goal of this project is to identify and monitor ecological, epidemiological and genetics aspects of the regional jaguar population, and develop strategies for the management and conservation of the species. Interns have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of data collection including: monitoring through radio telemetry; setting and checking camera traps; and collecting scats with scat detector dogs. Interns are expected to treat all data-collecting activities with responsibility and seriousness.
Rejecting straightforward chronology, Eduardo Galeano traces Latin America’s exploitation and impoverishment through the history of its principal commodities. Over five centuries, he explores the minerals and crops which have made a rich region poor, while building the fortunes of US and European transnational’s. From the gold and silver sought by the Spanish conquistadores to the oil and copper extracted by present day foreign corporations, Galeano presents a disturbing and fascinating picture of economic injustice.
This project collects and distributes Christmas presents for poor children. The aim is to give poor and abandoned children something to smile about at Christmas. It aims to collect as many gifts as possible but discourages items that glamorise war or encourage violence. Volunteers can help collect, pack and distribute the presents between the poorest communities. Donations (gifts) from international volunteers are very welcome.
