"Making this World a Better place to Live” is the mission of the Mountain Lions International. Sierra Leone West Africa and Wisconsin USA are the homelands of this culturally diverse group of musicians who met in the unlikely place of Whitewater, Wisconsin.
Mountain Lions International’s roots go back to 1997 when 2 UW-Whitewater students began assembling lyrics. Lions 3 and 4 were added in 1999 and their first playing out was in Milwaukee July 2000. After taking first place in a “Battle” event on the UW-W campus in February 2002, the MLI has been playing for audiences in a diversity of venues ever since.
MLI’s “Afre-roc” music (a blend of African, Reggae, and Rock) is unique to them and displays the diversity of the members musical and cultural backgrounds. Mountain Lions International music also represents their attitude about life; it is about all peoples of the world getting together and solving their differences, about joy and respect for one another. The MLI lives and breathes this concept; it is evident on their faces, how they treat one another and others, and in the lyrics of their original compositions they call ‘positive vibrations’.
