Usa for Africa - We Are the World

  



USA for Africa (Unión de Apoyo de Artistas para Africa), fue el nombre bajo el cual cuarenta y cinco conocidos artistas, principalmente estadounidenses, liderados por Quincy Jones, Harry Belafonte, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie y Bruce Springsteen, se reunieron para grabar el single "We Are the World" en 1985. La canción alcanzó rápidamente el puesto número uno en los ranking de Estados Unidos e Inglaterra, así como en muchos otros países del mundo.
Las considerables ganancias de la USA for Africa Foundation fueron destinadas al tratamiento de la hambruna y las enfermedades en África; los críticos, sin embargo, reclamaban que el dinero llegaba a los gobiernos de los países africanos, antes que a la propia población afectada.



                       


25 años más tarde Usa for África volvió a unirse para cantar una segunda versión de este we are the world, para en esta ocasión ayudar a las víctimas del terremto de Haiti. El año en el que se cantó esta cancion(2010), coincidió con los 25 años de usa, por eso la nueva canción se llamó we are the world 25 for haiti. La canción fue interpretada por varios artistas actuales ídolos de adolescentes en su mayoría, como Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, y Los Jonas Brothers.
