BOA & OTHER SINGERS TO MAKE A REMAKE OF A SONG OF WEI WEI
BoA and 9 other singers are remaking an english version a famous song by a singer named Wei Wei (i think.. i translated directly from the chinese articles.. she is one of the singers that will be participating as well…), named “Dedication of Love” ( direct translation of the song title 爱的奉献). These singers are from Brazil (丹妮拉), Paris (阿拉玛), Indonesia (Ruth Sahanaya), Russia (谢尔盖·叶塞宁), Korea (BoA), Ukraine (Rusiana Gaitana), India (SONU), Oman, Greece (PHOEBE) and China (Wei Wei).
Producers Roald Hoffmann and Brian Alan(?) initially invited these 10 singers to sing their composition ” The Same Earth” ( direct translation of the song title 同一个地球), with recording that will take place in New York. But the earthquake in Sichuan happened and the 2 producers saw Wei Wei’s performance of “Dedication of Love” (direct translation of the song title 爱的奉献) on one of the shows planned to raise funds for the earthquake area, and got to know that this song has been sung for over 10 years in China. Hence, they made the decision to remake this song.
It will be a world wide release for this single, and all singers have agreed that all the earnings for this release will be contributed to the Sichuan Earthquake to help rebuild the area. The recording will now take place in BeiJing, on the 9th of June.
