Sierra Leone's Refugee All-Stars concert turns into a dance party on August 16 at the Opera House as audience members move from their seats to dancing in the aisles while listening to the music of West Africa. Band members shared stories from home and spoke of the devastating effects of the Ebola virus currently plaguing their homeland. The group has been on tour in the United States and Canada since early April and is due to return to Sierra Leone at the end of September. Their stop in Maine was one of only two scheduled for all of New England.
