SEPULTURA Members Take Part In Charity Soccer
Game
SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser has issued the following
update:
"Yesterday we did another SEPUL-event, a benefit soccer game we do
every year to collect food for charity. More than 3,000 people
showed up, each one of them brought 1kg of non-perishable goods, it
was a great afternoon! The game was organized by Paulo, our bass
player, with his brothers, friends and also the support of a local
TV station, local soccer clubs (Atletico MG and America MG, who is
the owner of the stadium the game was realized, the Idependencia
Stadium BH) and Topper, who made all the uniforms for both
teams.
"The Sepultura And Friends team was a mixture of musicians and
professional soccer players and the other team, Uniao Solidaria,
was composed by veterans players, mainly from Atletico MG. The game
ended in a draw, 6 to 6, a record-scoring game for us,
SEPULTURA.
"Thanks for all the people involved, especially the crowd who came
to see a good game and to help people suffering from hunger.
Hopefully we will continue to do this game, every year, growing
with the help and support from all.
"The game closed a great year of 2007 for me, my projects, solo
album, SEPULTURA and my family. We feel a more mature band,
especially with our new drummer Jean and now we are ready to write
a new album for next year.
"Thanks for the support of you all, in our shows, on your comments,
criticism and eulogies. I wish you all a great Christmas and a
great new year!"
