Cherine Shines at Obama's Inauguration
The victory of President Elect Barack Obama is cause for many celebrations, and the inauguration ceremonies commence in full force next week in Washington DC.
Among the invited performers was Jamaica's own Dancehall Soulstress Cherine Anderson, appearing alongside Michael Franti and Spearhead. Monday, January 19, Cherine joins in celebrating the change in US Presidential leadership by performing at "The Green Ball".
The event, hosted by former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore is sold out and took place at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Center. Anderson is in outstanding company at "The Green Ball", with fellow performers including John Legend, Maroon 5 and Melissa Etheridge among others.
Cherine is very honoured to take the stage again on Tuesday, January 20, while performing at "The Peace Ball". This special event will be held at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum, and is hosted by Harry Belafonte.
Other distinguished performers at this event included Joan Baez and Angelique Kidjo. "The Peace Ball" is also a sold out event. Anderson says,
"We just completed the Inaugural Green Ball (one of the biggest balls in town tonight) in celebration of the new leader of the free world, president-elect Barack Obama. It was fun meeting and talking to some of the stars I've grown up watching on tv, politicans, scholars and activists from all walks of the American society. I got to walk the 'green' carpet and to share the stage with Maroon 5, Michael Franti & Spearhead, John Legend, Melissa Etheridge and Will.I.Am to name a few. It's interesting how many nations were represented in that one room but no one took out their flag. Well no one but CHERINE. Jamaica to the world!!!."
