Can music change the world? Now that's an age old question ... one that we could all debate for hours on end. In the meantime, Duplex Music has made a committment to kids around the globe, because the only way to help change the world is ONE child at a time.

Duplex Music has partnered with world renowned photographer Stephen Shames, who has spent the last 20 years photographing children in poverty across the globe. Shames has travelled from India to Bangladesh, Kenya, Uganda, Brazil, and right here in the USA documenting kids in tough situations, showing us through pictures how they live and cope. He has published 2 highly acclaimed books, and his work has appeared in all forms of media. His foundation, Outside the Dream, was established in 1995 with the stated intention to make a difference for kids, and we here at Duplex Music share his vision.

The foundation finds children living "Outside the Dream" - children without parents, food to eat, money for school fees, and puts them in school, helping transform lives one child at a time.

So anytime you buy or download a copy of "Flesh & Bone", "Old Dub Box Volume 1", or "Old Dub Box Volume 2", a portion of that sale will go to the Outside the Dream Foundation. Period. You buy a CD, you help out a child in need.

Right now, proceeds from Duplex Music sales are helping put Abdi, Feria, and Jama through school in Mombasa, Kenya. Your music purchases are getting these kids books and supplies, so that they will grow up and be able to make a difference in their own corner of the world.
