Singer Jason Mraz will make history next month when he performs in Burma to raise awareness about human trafficking. Mraz will headline a free outdoor concert on Dec. 16 at People’s Square in Rangoon, at the base of Shwedagon Pagoda. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is the first international artist to perform an open-air concert in the country since the end of military rule last year. He is believed to be just the second Western act to perform in the country in decades, joining Ozomatli’s US State Department-sponsored appearance in 2009.—AP
