DJs Starting from Scratch, D’Bandit and Dr. Jay will join Juno-award winning reggae artist Exco Levi and more Sept. 27 at Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre to raise funds and collect items for those hit hardest, particularly in Saint Martin, Anguilla, St. Barts and Barbuda.

Appropriately dubbed Caribbean Relief and Rhythms, the benefit will feature talent from Toronto and the Caribbean with proceeds going to Caribana Arts Group,“whose members are communicating directly with individuals and organizations in the islands,” according to the press release.
An account has been set up at TD Bank on King Street (transit #1020; account #5526306) to receive donations prior to the fundraising event and will stay open to throughout October. The organization will also have a container onsite to collect goods for displaced residents of Barbuda.
Items needed are: diapers, wipes; baby food, dried and canned milk, new baby clothes, baby bottles, soap, disinfectant, pillows, sheets, blankets, toiletries, sanitary pads, underwear, large garbage bags, first aid kits, shaving kits, new towels, batteries, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and flashlights.
The concert will also feature appearances by Soca For Life creators Kerwin Du Bois and Lyrikal. Tickets are $20 (plus service charges) with a VIP option ($50), available at TicketGateway.com.
