Helping Darfur with THE KIN
Written by Melanie Silos

All the way from Adelaide, Australia, to the mecca of New York City, it's THE KIN with the melodic guitar acoustics, keyboards and vocal harmonies of brothers, Thorry & Isaac Koren, with a most unique drummer, “Shakerleg”, who plays a drum kit solely with his hands. Vocalist/guitarist Thorry Koren shares the significance of The Kin, "The Kin means family, clan. The Kin is always writing about that, the coming together as one, the collective. I think that is what true family is about - not just being blood related; there are deeper connections. Music does that, brings people together, and I hope we can be part of that."

Even though they had harmonized together as kids, Thorry and Isaac originally had separate music projects. Keyboardist/vocalist Isaac Koren shares, "The Kin started by accident. We needed a gift for a special person and decided to write a song together. It was good, and that's what eventually became The Kin." In live performance guitarist/vocalist, Thorry Koren exudes deep seeded emotion from the struggles and tribulations of life as it comes through in his playing. Keyboardist Isaac Koren brings it together with beautiful harmonies and his soothing vocal tone. Listen and join The Kin and support them in the efforts to help the troubles of violence and poverty in Darfur, Sudan, by watching their video "Call It a New Day" on their website www.TheKin.com. Each time the video "Call It a New Day" is viewed online, thirty-five cents will go to help the crisis in Darfur. The goal is to reach a million viewings of the video.

Also collaborating with The Kin is artist/painter Patrick Madden, who has created a series of paintings to their premiere album “Rise & Fall”, all proceeds from his Rise & Fall series will help the crisis in Darfur. See PatrickMaddenPainting.com, and please spread the word of great art and music.
