We Are The World Spanish Version

Everyone’s anticipation for the remake of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie’s “We Are The World” was boiling over the top by the time it premiered on television during the 2010 Olympics opening ceremony. With a new generation of “all-stars” lending their voices, we all wondered how it would turn out. The results: It raised a generous amount of money to go towards Haiti and is still #1 on iTunes, but the general reception hasn’t been as great. If you still haven’t checked out the new video, you can watch and listen to it  here.


However, it looks like we have yet another version of new peace anthem coming out. A Spanish version of “We Are The World” is slated to premiere on The Cristina Show which pulls in as many viewers as Oprah does.  A few artists such as Shakira has been confirmed to be a part of it.

According to the Associated Press, the song will also raise funds for Haitian relief and in addition to Shakria, Ricky Martin, Carlos Santana, David Archuletta, Gloria Estefan, Chayanne, Juan Luis Guerra are also on the roster to participate. The track is also produced by Quincy Jones and Univision with the help of Latino music mogul, Emilio Estefan. The Spanish version of the track will also be under the patronage and guidance of the We Are The World Foundation.

Even if you don’t speak or understand Spanish, there is a possibility that this version to premiere on Monday might even be better than the first 2010 remake. It’s also a great way to pull in people around the world for a good cause through a great melody.

What do you think of these artists making a Spanish remake of “We Are The World?”
