We Are The World 25 For Haiti

by Shanker Bakshi on February 14, 2010

Hi Guys, I am back after a long time, was busy establishing my new venture, thanks very much for your patience and care you shown in your mails.

Lets start it again with this great thought that we are all a part of God’s great big family and we are the ones who make a brighter day by start giving, we all know what has happened in Haiti. Over 80 artists and performers get together recorded  of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. The song is written by my idol Michael Jackson along this song always inspire us to think about the world we live in and what we can contribute to make it a better place for living.

Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) “We Are The World 25 For Haiti”, in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.

Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici.

The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.

Yes, he says “Nou se mond la” (we are the world) and “nou se timoun yo” (we are the children). They are in Haitian Creole, but Creole is a little bit related to French, that’s why they sound like french.

Are you back for good now? The blogosphere missed your presence.

I had mixed emotions when I saw Michael Jackson so alive in this video.

Welcome back!
