DOWNLOAD OF SONG FROM
NEW SHAKURA S'AIDA CD AIDS
Canada's international blues vocalist, Shakura S'Aida, is using her voice to aid relief
efforts in Haiti.
"Angels on High" -- a fitting title from her new album, Brown Sugar -- is now
available for download to aid victims of the Haiti Earthquake.
Every time the song is purchased
for $1.00 proceeds will be donated to Free The Children, an international
children's charity which is working together with Partners in Health to provide
long-term health care, education and relief for children affected by the disaster.
The song was written by Shakura
S'Aida and her band partner Donna Grantis, and is a highlight of her new album,
which has already been released in Europe, and will be on sale in Canada and the United States April 13. Both
Shakura and Donna are currently on tour in Europe
as part of the Blues Caravan tour.
Said the singer: "Both
Donna and I feel that the earthquake in Haiti has reminded us that we are
all connected, we are all family. We are indeed each other's angels and we need
to take care of each other now and always."
