******* WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM ? *******************
I deeply believe that save the money for the festivals and help those needy people is much more meaningful........
DR wants to learn from those "Western Countries" showing phony things, yet, there are millions people need help much more urgent than this phony things.
This concert will make the people at least forgot them.
