Health messages through song

The New York Times ran an article Saturday about Feliciano Dos Santos one of southern Africa's most popular singers, who writes and performs songs promoting sanitation and disease prevention. It is an interesting look at health promotion in a different culture and also examines the barriers to health promotion. Health promotion is about more than getting health messages to the people, but addressing the cultural and systematic barriers to changing behavior.
