In the same way  Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie made “We Are the World 25 for Haiti,” hip-hop star K’NAAN brought together a bunch of artists to raise awareness and money for the strife in Haiti.  He took the song “Wavin’ Flag” off his latest album Troubadour and remixed it for this gathering of artists.  The group includes Canadians like Avril Lavigne, Drake, and Emily Haines.  Download the song here; all proceeds go to Free The Children, War Child Canada, and World Vision.  (Side note: Friggin Justin Beiber.  I’ll never understand why Jones and Riche decided to have him open “We Are the World” and now why K’NAAN had him close out his song.)
