Hello everyone, Amigos! Our friend Nirk Molina needs our help. Originally from Monteria and based in London, he is well known as "The UK Vallenato King" and one of the most important artists of Latin music in the UK who has been spreading Colombian culture for many years, bringing the sound of Vallenato to the UK, supporting many people, friends, venues, festivals and promoters in London.

Early this year he was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer. The news has changed his world completely and he decided to fight this disease with his family and close friends, and try our best to bring hope to these difficult moments.

He needs our help now and this is the time to give back some support to help him and his family during these difficult circumstances that don't let him continue doing music or work, as he needs special care from his family due to his health condition with a reserved diagnosis.

Please help us to share these and any contribution directly please contact us for more details to help him and his family.
A live fundraising event with support from his artists and friends will be revealed soon. In the meantime please donate or share if you can. Many thanks from his family and friends.
