After the devastating earthquake hit Haiti in January many of us were moved by the stories of dramatic rescues from crushed buildings weeks later and the sorrowful plights of a nation’s orphans. A worldwide outpouring of charitable donations to support the relief efforts followed.
It’s been several weeks since then and many Haitian people are still in need. I recently spoke with Myrtho Cavé, the president of We Care-Haiti sponsored by ACMEF and the wife of Alan Cavé, the lead singer of the Haitian band ZIN, one of the most popular Haitian Konpa music bands. We discussed their foundation’s role in the sustained effort to help the still recovering nation. (more…)

Every little bit counts but I would like to pass on whatever the baby Jay-Z and Bono have will sound like.
We can blame Swizz Beats for getting the unlikely duo together.
It is the thought that counts and whatever they raise will be helpful so thanks.
“Last night we wrote a song. Bono got a call from a producer, Swizz. He and Jay-Z wanted to do something for Haiti. So, Bono came up with the phrase on the phone, and last night we were here, we wrote a song – finished, recorded and send (sic) back to them. So, that might be the next thing you hear from us!” ~U2 guitarist Edge wrote on his site, quote via ecorazzi.com
“Rihanna is releasing her cover of Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” on iTunes, with the proceeds earmarked for Haitian relief efforts by the Red Cross, UNICEF, Oxfam America and Partners in Health. The track, which she first performed on Oprah on Jan. 20, can also be purchased at Oprah.com and at Rihannanow.com.” ~gather.com
