A capella and performance arts fans fill Schine Underground with music for a cause at the "Songs for Somalia" benefit concert Wednesday.

It was a night of both charm and challenge as SU students used music to help a cause at the benefit concert, "Songs for Somalia," in Schine Underground, Wednesday night.

Seven student acts took the stage singing acapella, reciting poetry and even spiritual miming (miming to gospel music) in tribute to the famine in Somalia. All proceeds from the $5 concert went to direct famine relief through the organization, Valid Nutrition, who distributes nutrition packs in Africa to treat chronic malnutrition.
