Universal Music objavljuje kompilaciju za pomoć Japanu / Universal Music is releasing a compilation to benefit Japan

Najveća izdavačka kuća na svetu Universal Music Group objaviće kompilaciju od čije će prodaje sva sredstva biti uplaćena japanskom Crvenom krstu, rekao je predstavnik ove kompanije. Album će biti u digitalnoj formi i mogao bi da se nađe u prodaji već krajem nedelje, iako nije utvrđena lista izvođača koji će učestvovati. 

Očekuje se da će u ovoj akciji, između ostalih, biti uključeni i U2, Rihanna i Lady Gaga.

The biggest record label in the world Universal Music Group will release a compilation soon in order to raise fund for Japan and all proceeds will go to the Japanese Red Cross, said a spokeperson of that company. The album will be a download-only release and could be available as soon as at the end of this week, although the list of performers hasn't been finalized yet.

It's expected that U2, Rihanna and Lady Gaga be among featured artists.

Koncerti za pomoć Japanu / Concerts for Japan

Sonic Youth, Lou Reed, Yoko Ono i Sean Lennon neki su od izvađača koji su najavili koncerte od kojih će sav prihod ići za saniranje posledica katastrofalnog zemljotresa, cunamija i nuklearne katastrofe koji su zadesili Japan.

Za sada su planirana dva događaja u New Yorku. Koncert na kome će, između ostalih, nastupiti i Sonic Youth, Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Cibo Matto i Mike Patton zakazan je za 27. mart u Miller Theatru na univerzitetu Columbia. Za 9. april priprema se 12-časovni koncert u sedištu njujorškog udruženja Japan Society kada će nastupiti Lou Reed, Philip Glass, Hal Willner, Laurie Anderson i kompozitor John Zorn.

Mnoge poznate ličnosti pomogle su žrtvama u Japanu. Lady Gaga je tako lansirala narukvicu, a sav prihod od prodaje (oko četvrt miliona dolara) namenila je žrtvama nedavnih katastrofa u toj zemlji.
