Disability not a stumbling block for rock band Liyana

Liyana an afro-fusion, rock band from Zimbabwe has made big connections with the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus. All of the band members are students from a school for young people with disabilities. Liyana’s song was featured at MacWorld and NAMM as part of the African group’s 2009 US Tour. Their music is hosted on the John Lennon website (www.lennonbus.org). “Lennon Bus, a non-profit mobile education programme, was co-founded by the Beatle’s widow, Yoko Ono, to tour the country and bring music-making skills to youths everywhere.” With a little help, musicians with disabilities can accomplish great things.
