A well-known American songwriter-singer, Jason Mraz will hold a free concert in Burma on coming December 16 to fight against human trafficking. This is going to be the foremost open-air performance by a foreign musician in the history of the country. Local artists will also take part in the concert as well. Hosted by MTV EXIT, the show will take place at People's Square in Yangon, at the base of Shwedagon Pagoda, and is going to be on air on national television programs as well as on MTV international networks.
Last year, Jason Mraz hosted a similar concert in Philippines. He went to the Freedom Awards that is held each year to honor the people who are fighting against the human exploitation, and that made him realize that slavery still goes on behind the scenes for a long time. Approximately 27 million people in the world are enslaved.
Jason Mraz hopes that his songs can act according to his personal wills that can bring changes. The theme of the concert is "educate, empower, and engage." Many of his songs such as 'I'm yours' and 'I won't give up' are about trusting oneself, and pursuing the dreams that can fit the theme.
