HELP FIND A CURE FOR HIV/AIDS
Please read this whole entry, don't see Hanson and skip down.
Hanson went to South Africa this summer to see the effects of HIV/AIDS in third-world countries themselves. They recorded a song with 2 children's choirs in an impovrished town in South Africa. They are releasing this song, The Great Divide, on itunes on November 28 (Tuesday), in time for World AIDS Day (Dec. 1). EVERY CENT of the proceeds goes to the Perinatal HIV Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa (hivsa.com). The band isn't getting ANYTHING for this.
Please download it. It not only would make me reeaaally happy because the new music is getting out there, but it is truly for a good cause.
Here's a bit of the article on the website:
In an unconventional move, Hanson is releasing the song "Great Divide" as an exclusive internet track on World AIDS Day, December 1st. 100% of the revenues derived by the sale of the song, which features a South African children's choir recorded on the group's recent trip to South Africa and Mozambique in July 2006, will be donated to the Perinatal HIV Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa (hivsa.com).
