The next release in the Catalytic Artist Album fundraising program in support of social justice is CAA-005, an exciting trio recording of the first time meeting between Dave Rempis, Tim Daisy, and Terrie Ex, called "Sugar/Shack." All 22 monthly editions of the CAA albums released so far have been member-exclusive. Catalytic Sound continues to reissue these for purchase once a week, with proceeds going to non-profit organizations chosen by Catalytic co-op artists.

Proceeds raised from sales of this recording will go toward a cause recommended by Dave, the "Keep Fendika Grooving" GoFundMe campaign, which is raising donations to help support the Fendika Cultural Center (fendika.org). The Fendika Cultural Center "celebrates and renews Ethiopia’s rich cultural heritage. We welcome all creative souls; through exchange of music, dance, art, and poetry, we meditate on humanity’s one-ness, and pray for a peaceful world. Our vision for Fendika is to continue to nurture the artistic community in Addis Ababa, and to grow into one of Africa’s most vibrant centers for artistic innovation and cultural exchange grounded in rich Ethiopian heritage."

All of these activities came to a halt when COVID-19 hit Ethiopia. The Fendika Cultural Center closed their doors in the interest of public health on March 16th, a few days before the government ordered a shut-down for all performance venues. Their international tours in 2020 have been cancelled: Tokyo World Music Festival in celebration of the Olympic (April), multiple tours in Europe (May-July), and a month-long U.S.A. tour (September).

In addition to the 40 band musicians who perform and/or tour with us regularly, Fendika supports 33 salaried employees: Azmari musicians, dancers, waiters, security staff, cashiers, and cleaners. Seven of them live in Fendika. For the moment, due to COVID-19, this organization has no income at all, as their earnings came from international tours, entrance fees, and food/beverage sales during concerts. The Ethiopian government provides no assistance to small businesses and workers.

Funds raised from this campaign will help Fendika pay for basic survival salaries for 33 employees of Fendika, and Fendika Live concert production costs: artist fees for musicians and dancers who perform during Fendika Live concerts that are streamed online (), payment for the camera crew for us to stream high-quality programs, transportation costs for artists and camera crew to travel to and from Fendika (They all need to travel by private, contracted cars, as public transit is becoming too risky), monthly wifi cost so we can keep streaming music and other programs.

This CAA program has been able to raise a total of $594 in donations for One DC (www.onedconline.org), Black Girls Code (www.blackgirlscode.com), and BYP100 (www.byp100.org/about), and Black Lives Matter DC (www.blacklivesmatterdmv.org) so far. Thanks for the continued support and solidarity with organizations like these and the Movement for Black Lives.
