"We Are The World: 25 Years For Haiti" Recording
Twenty-five years after the 80s top music artists recorded "We Are The World" (led by the late Michael Jackson) to aid famine victims in Africa, the brightest recording stars of 2010 unite to sing the song once again and help the victims of Haitian earthquake.
The recording session of "We Are the World: 25 Years for Haiti" took place on Monday and lasted for more than 16 hours to complete. The original song's producers Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones helped to organize the project.
Haitian-born rapper Wyclef Jean told Radar Online:
"It was real emotional there was a bunch of kids from Haiti that were filming, survivors of the earthquake, and it was emotional. I was crying they were crying, but at the same time it was beautiful to see the music industry coming together to do what they can and bring awareness and make sure that the money that was raised goes to the right places and help rebuild Haiti. Of course people need water, they need food water and shelter but let's not just build houses that will turn into shacks ten years from now. Let's build real structures. Haiti was messed up way before the earthquake and now is the opportunity to really give them the stability and the structure they need to have a real future and participate in the world."
The new "We Are The World" single will premiere February 12 on NBC during the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics.
