Join Bands not Gangs!

Join Bands, Not Gangs, from Cape Town, South Africa, uses music as a means to fight gangsterism in at-risk neighbourhoods.

Founded in 2018 by Berklee College of Music graduate Karien de Waal, the organization aims to prove their hypothesis - that if a small percentage of the Youth in a neighborhood can become actively involved in constructive activities like music, it can help reduce gangsterism and therefore reduce crime.

They also believe they can help rehabilitate active street gangsters before they end up in the criminal justice system, using music lessons as a point of contact. 10% of Wings’ revenue from music distribution will go directly to them, we’re honoured to be partnering with them and helping your music do good!
