In Bali, Discovery
Events is organizing what promises to be a most memorable and unique commemoration
of the 107 lives lost 40 years ago in the crash of a Pan American B707-321
April 22, 1974 in Tinga Tinga, North Bali.
Right now we are all thinking about MH 370
as a bizarre loss of a B777 without a trace. It reminds us that in 2014
our planet is not a small world after all, although as part of the global
village we share the collective grief and sense of loss and send out our
heartfelt condolences to everyone who has suffered post MH370.
“Bali Remembers” actually has
been a regular event over the years conducted at the Pan Am Memorial located
behind the Taman Festival Complex in Padang Galak, Sanur.
"Bali Remembers" includes traditional
Hindu offerings, music, verse and also brief prayers offered by representatives
of the six major religions practiced in Indonesia.
Among the highlights of the afternoon will
be an opening song “To Where You Are” sung in Bali by the
legendary Indonesia singer-actor Prihartono Anton Mirzaputra, lead vocalist
of Jamaica Café, the spectacular a ccapella group, that is sure
to lift spirits all around.
