Well-known Indonesian singer Meda Kawu will perform poetic songs written by best-selling author Andrea Hirata at La Fontaine Centre of Contemporary Arts, in Manama, tomorrow night.
Mr Hirata will also be present to conduct a reading of his work, along with a book signing, at the stunning venue.
Half of all proceeds from ticket sales will go towards a free school established by the author in Indonesia.
Mr Hirata’s novel The Rainbow Troops has sold over five million copies worldwide and been turned into a critically acclaimed film and television series.
The Rainbow Troops is a semi-autobiographical novel about two dedicated village teachers who inspire a group of elementary school children to get an education against all odds.
