In partnership with Mondomix.com, Samarange Ltd. is working on the Music Desk development for the International Slavery Museum of Liverpool.

The new Museum will open its display galleries on 23 August 2007, Slavery Remembrance Day. 2007 is the bicentenary of the abolition of the British slave trade and 23 August commemorates the date of the outbreak of the slave rebellion, which created the first independent Black republic of Haiti. The International Slavery Museum will be at Liverpool's Albert Dock, at the centre of a World Heritage site. The location is only yards away from the dry docks where 18th century slave trading ships were repaired and fitted out. One of the greatest groups of national museums in the world, National Museums Liverpool is ideally placed to elevate this subject onto an international stage. The International Slavery Museum will highlight the international importance of slavery and its issues both in a historic and contemporary context. Working in partnership with other museums with a focus on freedom and enslavement, the International Slavery Museum will provide opportunities for greater awareness and understanding of the legacy of slavery today.

The music desk, on display in the Legacy Section of the Museum, will give access to the public to 377 soundtracks and possibly video clips to express the vast heritage of African music in our contemporary world . These soundtracks describes the musical landscape related to: - the roots of Black music and its evolution : eg from West African music to gospel, rhythm & blues, jazz, and rock'n roll to pop, reggae, rap and hip hop, house music, jungle, drum and bass, grime etc - the West African music now and then (before slavery) and the afrocaribbean and latino / brasilian musics derived from them. It will link them to western countries soundtracks and will show how afro american music has influenced african music in return. - the influence of afro-american music among 20th and 21st century - the appropriation of such a heritage by other cultures.
