Protesters disrupt U.S. hip-hop artist's Indonesia concert 

JAKARTA (AP): Protesters disrupted a concert by a U.S. hip-hop artist touring 
Indonesia at the U.S. Embassy's invitation, an embassy official and witnesses 
said Tuesday. 

At around 8 p.m. (13:00 GMT), more than 20 men on motorbikes rode through a 
crowd of 2,000 gathered to see New York-based hip-hop artist Toni Blackman and 
her three-member band perform at a university campus in the North Sumatra 
provincial capital of Medan. 

The men then seized the microphone and yelled anti-American slogans, said Donna 
Welton, cultural attache at the U.S. embassy in Jakarta. 

Medan police said the protesters had previously been involved in 
anti-globalization protests, but could not confirm further details. 

Blackman is on a U.S.-embassy sponsored tour of Indonesia, the world's most 
populous Muslim country, from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3. 

Blackman, dubbed by one U.S. radio station as the "Ambassador of Hip-Hop," had 
just returned from Indonesia's tsunami-battered Aceh province, where she 
participated in a musical exchange with university students in the area. (**)
