More than 50 Canadian musicians lend their voices to single.
A constellation of more than 50 Canadian stars - including Jim Cuddy
- gathered in Vancouver’s The Warehouse Studio last month to record a
song in aid of the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Spearheaded by
legendary music producer Bob Ezrin and three-time 2010 Juno Award
nominee K’naan under the banner Young Artists for Haiti, the song and
video – a brand new rendition of K’naan’s "Wavin’ Flag" - will be
available for sale wherever music is sold digitally as of Friday, March
12 at 12:01am ET. All proceeds from the sale of the single will go to
Free The Children, War Child Canada and World Vision Canada in support
of their on-the-ground efforts in Haiti.
"I'm honoured to have experienced the soulful energies of so many
talented individuals who contributed their voices and expertise to
‘Wavin’ Flag’," says K’naan. “The unity and spirit of everyone involved
in the recording reminds us that we all share in the responsibility to
help. We can’t let the situation in Haiti fall off the public’s agenda."
You can support this worthy cause by purchasing the single right here.
