ARA Now an Ambassador
One of Nigeria’s finest performers and first female talking drummer of international repute, Ara made another headline in far away New York City, when she was made the Melody Ambassador for Waterby Melody for Dialogue among Civilized Association.
Ara was honoured by Melody for Dialogue among Civilized Association, an organization affiliated to UNESCO and UN on the world water day at the Merkin Kaufman concert hall.
As part of her trip to the US, she’s meeting with the ambassador of Nigeria to the United States of America, HE Ade Adefuye, the Director of the UNESCO office in New York and an eventual recording with the human beat box, Douge Fresh. At the well attended ceremony with representatives from the UNESCO headquarters in France, UN office in New York, Ara was eulogized as a woman who broke away with traditions and norms of limitation usually imposed on women from all parts of the world.
Apart from this, the enigmatic performer was well applauded for restoring hope and happiness to the children and women in her Nigeria through her NGO called Ara Passion Project. With her new role as the water ambassador, she is expected to educate and raise awareness on the need for accessibility and sustainability of clean water in all parts of the world.
Ara will also communicate with world leaders on the need for the earth to be a haven for children and the need for portable water as a right for all citizens of the world.
