Atresmedia Group, as media partner of the Emergency Committee since its creation in Spain, has spread through its digital platforms and social networks this musical initiative that aims to raise funds to help four of the NGOs belonging to the Emergency Committee (Acción contra el Hambre, Médicos del Mundo, Plan International and World Vision) who are working on the catastrophe.
Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, registered a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on August 14 that caused at least 1,941 deaths and 9,900 injuries. Carlos Jean, popular DJ and music producer, has relaunched the solidarity song "Ay Haiti!"created in 2010 after the terrible earthquake that the country suffered then. The song brought together great artists and well-known faces to raise funds, such as Alejandro Sanz, Enrique Iglesias, Bebe, 'La Oreja de Van Gogh', Paz Vega, Shakira, Juanes, DJ Nano, Forlán, Iniesta or Kaká.
Today, more than ten years later, the song once again supports the most affected population in Haiti through the #AyudaEscuchandomovement, whereby each time someone watchs or listens to the song on different platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Youtube o Deezer, it will generate economic benefits to contribute to the work carried out by the Emergency Committee. This initiative has also been possible thanks to the collaboration of Sony Music and Warner Chappel.
