On May 30, local talents and Nepalese performers came together to raise money for victims of the April earthquake in Nepal. The event was organized by Indra Tamang, longtime collaborator on art projects with the late Charles Henri Ford. Tamang is well known in New York art circles, as well as in the Nepalese community.

Debbie Harry, Penny Arcade, Felice Rosser and Faith, and Tammy Faye Starlite, along with Barry Reynolds of Marianne Faithfull fame, joined Tamang in his efforts by performing at St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral at Second Ave. and E. 34th St. The turnout was terrific, yet their goal of $75,000 for Nepal has yet to be met.

To contribute, visit Indra Tamang’s Go Fund Me page or contact him at  917-913-2693 or Tamang49@gmail.com . He is also considering auctioning off a piece of art by Ford to raise additional funds.
