Maldives Promotion House – High Rise has announced Healing Rhythms, an event dedicated to Nashid, the lead singer of Zero Degree Atoll band. Healing Rhythms, for one single night will reunite on stage Nashid and his colleagues. They will perform their greatest hits spanning three albums of Zero Degree Atoll, with support being provided by a selection of contemporary Maldivian artists. Guest performances at the event include Andhalaa ft. Hussain, Furadhan and Seaweed Juice. Nashid’s wife Sofu and daughter Nish will also perform alongside Nashid.

While this event will be one of the grandest of High rise events so far, tribute performances will be held at Seahouse once every week until the final concert. The final concert will be held at Taj Samudra, Colombo, Sri Lanka. Countdown shows have also been arranged for the next four weeks.

However this event is more than just a celebration of a glittering musical career, this event also aims to support a far greater cause. Nashid has been suffering for some time with cancer and continues to undergo heavy treatment.

Despite his condition, Nashid has demonstrated remarkable courage and remained actively committed to increasing cancer awareness and improving cancer research. Thus this event will serve to help spread cancer awareness and raise the funds needed to continue Nashid’s treatments.

Healing Rhythms will also mark the launch of a new charity Cancer Foundation (cancer-foundation.mv). More information regarding the foundation will be released after the launching of it during the event. The concert is scheduled for 7^th December 2012. Tickets sales will begin during the coming week, and will be available at Island Music and Baywatch Styl in Maldives, and Maldives Bliss, Gallery (MC) and Holhuashi in Colombo for Rps 2500 or MVR 200.
