Janelle Monae and Jill Scott to Perform at Nobel Peace Prize Concert

October 20th, 2011 - By madamenoire

One of our favorite artists of today, Janelle Monae, is set to perform at the 18th Annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert. And as if that wasn’t good enough soulful songtress Jill Scott will be performing as well with several other international musicians. The concert will take place on December 11th in Oslo, Norway.

This concert is exceptionally special in that this year’s Peace Prize will be awarded to three African women: Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee of Libya and Tawakkul Karman of Yemen.

The women will be recognized for their non-violent struggle in advocating for women’s rights and safety.

L-R: Tawakkul Karman (Yemen) Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Liberia), and Leymah Gbowee (Libya)
