With few hours away, local music artists are now preparing to come together to perform in tonight’s Medical Appeal concert for well-known fellow music artist, Daniel Bilip.
Bilip is currently battling a challenging medical condition that needs to undergo urgent medical treatments overseas.
In response to his medical appeal, Willie Sarenga, also known as Parix, has come up with the initiative to host this medical appeal concert under the banner, ‘Musicians Unite in Concert.’
Parix is a local keyboardist in the PNG music industry who aims to help support Daniel in his journey to recovery.
“After hearing the news of one of our brothers in the music industry, I then reached out to Daniel as show of my support to be there for him and it was then I decided to host a medical fundraiser as a big contribution through music.”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson from Metelel Tribe, Channel Yohrin, also stated that as part of helping a brother, they also agreed to perform on the night when asked by Parix to take part in the medical appeal concert.
“As a young band from Vanimo in West Sepik province, we see Daniel as a mentor and a brother who has helped us with his support and advice in the music industry and so when Parix reached out to us, we couldn’t turn it down.”
Another well-known music artist, Sailas Kania who is commonly known as Saii Kay, stated that this initiative is also good for the artists to come together and sing as one.
“As music artists, we do have competition in the industry but moments like this bring us together as one and so I thank Parix for coming up with this idea.”
A total of ten music artists will be performing tonight where each will be performing three songs each.
A few of the artists will also be singing a cover each Daniel Bilip’s songs that will also be performed tonight.
The artists who will be performing are, Stagajah, Metere Crew, Saii Kay, Hotwills, Ragga Siai, Muno Worrix, Zone 5 Crew, O-Four, Metelel Tribe, Dr Wiz & Yung Dee.
The medical appeal concert will take place at The Cosmopolitan club tonight in Port Moresby.
Pre-sold tickets are going for K40 and K50 for door entry.
