USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa) was the name under which forty-seven predominantly US artists, led by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the World" in 1985. The song was a US and UK Number One for the collective in April of that year. This super group was inspired by Bob Geldof's Band Aid. The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa and specifically to 19841985 famine in Ethiopia; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people. USA for Africa also held a benefit event, Hands Across America, in which approximately seven million people held hands in a human chain for fifteen minutes along a path across the continental United States. Participants paid ten dollars to stand in line and the money raised was used to fight hunger and homelessness in Africa.. + Informações

United Nations, New York, 14 May 2010 - Eight of Africa's best known musical talents are lending their voices in support of a UN campaign in South Africa to encourage commitment to the achievement of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). One for each MDG, the artists came from across the continent to record 8 goals for Africa last April in Cape Town. The song and music video are part of the awareness campaign developed by the UN System in South Africa, including the UN Information Centre in Pretoria, to advocate for the attainment of the MDGs and to remind leaders to remain focused on them. With the eyes of the world trained on the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa starting in June, it's an opportunity to renew commitment to the MDGs. The campaign is expected to bring together UN agencies, civil society, the Government of South Africa, development partners, the private sector and the people of South Africa, Africa and the world. The song was produced by world-renowned music producer, Arthur Baker, with music composed by Jimmy Dludlu (South Africa), and by Eric Wainaina (Kenya). The participating artists are: Yvonne Chaka Chaka (South Africa), Angelique Kidjo (Benin), Oliver Mutukudzi (Zimbabwe), Mingas (Mozambique), Eric Wainaina (Kenya), HHP (South Africa), Baba Maal (Senegal), and the Soweto Gospel Choir (South Africa). Hugh Masekela (South Africa) and Jimmy Dludlu (South Africa) are two of the instrumentalists. The song and music video are available free of .... + Informações

Not long after Band Aid and We Are The World focused musical attention on famine in Africa, a collection of artists decided a similar approach might help in the struggle against apartheid. The initiator was Steven van Zandt - erstwhile guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band - who whipped up dozens of musicians to work on the project. They included Peter Gabriel, members of U2, Springsteen himself, Hall and Oates, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Run DMC, Lou Reed, Jackson Browne and Keith Richards. Van Zandt wrote and produced the song himself and it reached the top 40 in several European nations, though not in the US. Sun City is a large casino resort in the north-west of South Africa. During the apartheid years it was located in 'independent' state of Bophuthatswana, a phoney political construct that enabled white South Africans to visit a casino, gamble and attend strip shows, even though these activities were illegal within South Africa itself. Although the United Nations had placed a cultural ban on artists touring or performing in South Africa, many notable American and European acts ignored this and received large sums to perform at Sun City's massive auditorium. Amongst those to defy the ban included Linda Ronstadt, Queen, Laura Branigan, Rod Stewart, Julio Iglesias - and, ironically, black singers such as Ray Charles, Dionne Warwick and Boney M. As a result, Van Zandt's song continually insists that "I ain't gonna play Sun City": Twenty-three million can't vote .... + Informações

Em 1985, um movimento de artistas do pop internacional, encabeçados por Michael Jackson, promoveram um show histórico, em prol à luta contra a fome na África, era o "USA FOR AFRICA" (United Support of Artists for Africa). Um clipe musical reuniu grandes estrelas como Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Dionne Warwick, Lionel Richie, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Kim Karnes, Bruce Springsteen, e tantos outros, na interpretação da mítica "We Are The World" (Michael Jackson - Lionel Richie). A venda do disco foi revertida à campanha! O clipe correu o mundo, suscitando e inspirando outros similares em vários países. No Brasil, o genérico do "We Are The World" foi lançado com o nome de "CHEGA DE MÁGOA - NORDESTE JÁ". Um coro estelar de 155 vozes cantou "Chega de Mágoa", uma criação coletiva. Não foi um sucesso como a versão internacional, mas registrou este clipe, onde podemos ver entre muitos, Gal Costa, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Simone, Elba Ramalho, Maria Bethânia, Gilberto Gil, Roberto Carlos, Rita Lee, Erasmo Carlos, Milton Nascimento, Alcione, Edu Lobo, Ivan Lins, Fagner, Zizi Possi... Além daqueles que já nos deixaram, provocando uma grande saudade: Nara Leão, Elizeth Cardoso, Emilinha Borba, Tim Maia, Gonzaguinha, Rafael Rabello, Tom Jobim, Luiz Gonzaga... Vale a pena recordar um clipe que descreve tão bem a década de 1980.. + Informações

MICHAEL JACKSON MAKING OF WE ARE THE WORLD LIVE "We Are the World" is a 1985 song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, produced and conducted by Quincy Jones and recorded by a supergroup of 45 popular musicians billed as USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa).[1] The charity single was intended to raise funds to help famine-relief efforts in Ethiopia, which had experienced unusual drought and political instability in 1984/1985. Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote the song for the group, knowing there were people dying in Africa.[3] Quincy Jones agreed to produce and sent a demo to all the participating artists, along with a note to "check their egos at the door". The song was performed as the finale of Michael Jackson's July 7, 2009 memorial service at Staples Centre in Los Angeles after the death of Micheal Jackson on June 25, 2009. The song featured religous symbols and portraits by photographer Steve McCurry.. + Informações

By the age of seven, Zé, playing drums and acoustic guitar, had become the main attraction of Super Mama Djombo band. During the 1970's, this seminal orchestra played a major role in the liberation struggle of this former Portuguese colony. In 1982, Zé released his first solo album "Tustumunhos di Aonti" (Yesterday's Testimony), which sounded the alarm over the formation of a new repressive ruling class in Guinea-Bissau. The album was a national event (people in Guinea-Bissau today still sing the songs from this soulful, relevant album), but the political environment was heating up and Manel's fans were concerned for his safety. Manel fled his homeland. This self-exile took him to Portugal, France and, finally, the United States. His American debut album, "Maron di Mar" on Cobiana Records and released in 2001, was an instant success. It received rave reviews from European and American media and was nominated for best album at the All African Kora Music Awards .... + Informações
