    Celtic song turns African for charity A Celtic song written by French folk star Gilles Servat has been given an African makeover to benefit two worthy charities. "Le Pays" (This Land), written by Servat and Irish musical wizard Donal Lunny, featured on Dan Ar Braz 1997 album "Heritage des Celtes", speaks of the loneliness and isolation of migrant workers. French interpreter and musician Phil Muriel translated the song into English, relating it to the heart wrenching experiences of asylum seekers who have fled persecution and torture only to face destitution and endless waiting for others to decide on their future in this country. Now Phil has recorded the song with the help of African drummers, giving it a completely different style and aiming to benefit two charities through record sales. Phil declares: "I have the greatest admiration for the counsellors and volunteers from "The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture" and "Justice First" who give of themselves, open their hearts and often, their homes, to help torture victims and asylum seekers; I want to do something to support their work". The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture (MF), a registered charity established in 1985, is the only organization in the UK dedicated solely to the treatment of torture survivors. Since its inception, almost 50,000 people have been referred for help. In 2008, the MF received 2,025 new requests for help. Clients came from 79 countries, with significant numbers from Sri Lanka, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and Iran. Justice First works alongside people fleeing persecution who have been refused sanctuary in the UK to help them achieve a just outcome to their asylum application by helping them access legal representation. We offer practical help to those who are destitute and support those in need of friendship and comfort during distressing times. Gilles Servat kindly gave his permission to translate his song, stating: "I would like to express my admiration for the help you give to uprooted individuals who, unlike us, do not have the opportunity to return home."
