"The 'Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope' campaign
was conceived to create awareness within the Latin community about the
importance of bone marrow donation, and thus encourage the community to
register with the National Bone Marrow Registry which City of Hope
currently promotes. For the first time, a group of A-list Hispanic musical
artists have joined the cause in an effort to launch an unprecedented
campaign where they will record an epic song: 'La Gota de la Vida,'" said
Salvador Trevino, co-founder of the campaign to benefit City of Hope and
Executive Producer of the project.
"We'd like to thank these talented artists for their time, energy and
commitment to the recording of 'La Gota de la Vida'," said Scott Loyola,
Associate Vice President of Development for City of Hope, top center in the
investigation and treatment of cancer in the United States and beneficiary
of the project. "Through the support from the artists, recording labels and
sponsoring companies, we can help ensure wider outreach to the Latino
community and encourage more to join the 'National Bone Marrow Donor
Registry' while raising funds for advanced research and treatment at City
of Hope."
The large number of singers that are part of the group at this time
will converge in Las Vegas this up-coming week of November 3-6 during the
Latin Grammy 2009 celebration. Additional recordings will happen in Los
Angeles and Miami to record the musical theme written exclusively for City
of Hope by pianist and composer Arthur Hanlon.
"The campaign 'Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope'
has touched my heart like no other project throughout my career. The
campaign's image, a hand holding a drop of life-inspired the music and
lyrics of the song. I feel honored to be part of such a noble cause,"
shared Hanlon.
The first epic recording session, where dozens of artists will unite to
deliver their voices for this unprecedented cause, will take place in Las
Vegas between November 3rd and 6th. Additional recording sessions will
happen in Miami and Los Angeles. Besides the artists confirmed already, the
list includes Aleks Syntek, Noel Schrajis, German Montero, Shaila Durcal,
and Marcos Witt among others.
During the same dates, the filming of the video clip will take place,
led by talented director Simon Brand and produced by Mauricio Osorio from
Aluna Films. The video will boost the circulation of the message, which,
along with the song, will be spread to the world.
Luis Medina is the Executive Producer of the "Unete Con La Gota de la
Vida, Benefiting City of Hope" project. Medina is the President of UNO
Productions, and two decades ago made history with a similar gathering of
artists for a hymn written for UNICEF, known as "Cantare Cantaras." The
list of over 50 luminaries in Latin music included Julio Iglesias, Jose
Luis Rodriguez, Vicente Fernandez, Miami Sound Machine and Placido Domingo.
Luis Medina affirms: "I'm positive this epic recording will touch the
world much the same way as 'We are the World' and 'Cantare Cantaras' did in
their time, two projects which remain in people's hearts forever."
Universal Music Group is the music label that will promote and
distribute the song. All earnings generated from its sale will be donated
to "Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope." The song and
video will have a special premiere in Los Angeles on February 11th, 2010.
Today, history is about to be written through the historic
collaboration of a countless number of Hispanic artists uniting for the
first time for this noble cause.
