Lenny Kravitz rocks Rio

Multi-platinum recording artist Lenny Kravitz has just finished touring South America and is returning to North America for a series of concerts begining 5 April in Dallas Texas. The US rocker will also perform in major European cities during the summer.

Last Sunday, following a free concert in Rio de Janeiro in front of 500,000 fans, Kravitz donated a signed electric guitar to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's campaign to fight hunger in the country. The $5,000 Epiphone Flying V guitar used by Kravitz on his Latin American tour will be auctioned on the Internet at www.fomezero.gov.br and proceeds will go to building water cisterns in poor regions of Brazil's northeast.
