Avril Joins Fellow Canadians To Record Benefit Single For Haiti

Canadian All-Star Benefit Single For Haiti
blog.muchmusic.com, February 19th, 2010 - A large group of prominent Canadian musicians has quietly come together to record a benefit song for Haiti. While details on all the artists involved in the single are unclear at this point, according to a report by the Globe and Mail, the song is a cover of “Wavin’ Flag” by K’naan.
Update: More details have emerged about the all-star Canadian benefit single for Haiti, which was recorded yesterday in Vancouver.
A representative for Fefe Dobson confirmed to MuchMusic that the singer was also at the studio session, and that Drake, Justin Bieber and Avril Lavigne also contributed parts to the song remotely.
CTV’s Olympic Morning showed footage early on Friday of a few artists entering The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver (which was founded by Bryan Adams) to work on the song: K’naan, Nikki Yanofsky, Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley, Jay Malinowski of Bedouin Soundclash, Metric members Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw, Jully Black, and Kardinal Offishall.
The song’s producer, Canadian Bob Ezrin (who has worked with 30 Seconds To Mars, Pink Floyd, KISS) was also quoted commenting on the song, saying, “K’Naan’s lyrics in Wavin’ Flag embody the pain, passion and determination of the Haitian people and lend the hope of a brighter future. The response from the artists has been sensational, and I am so proud that together we may help to make a difference.”
Reportedly, the song will benefit Free The Children, War Child Canada and World Vision.
According to Dobson’s rep, Nelly Furtado was invited to participate but was already booked at the 2010 Premios Lo Nuestro awards on Thursday night in Miami.
If history is any guide, this benefit cover would parallel the 1985 Canadian supergroup Northern Lights, which recorded the song “Tears Are Not Enough” for the original We Are The World album.
Famously, the “We Are The World” remake, “We Are The World 25 For Haiti,” recently debuted during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

02.20.2010, 20:03 | 40 vocalists and performers to record K'naan single Wavin' Flag
Vancouver, BC — Globe and Mail update Published on Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010 6:02PM EST Last updated on Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010 6:18PM EST
Canadian musicians are waving the Maple Leaf for Haiti, secretly recording a benefit single for the earthquake-ravaged country.
Famed Canadian music producer Bob Ezrin is spearheading the project, which will include Somalian-born Canadian rapper K'naan, performing the K'naan hit song Wavin' Flag .
The recording is taking place Thursday at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, which was founded by Bryan Adams.
The new Olympic anthem-in-the-making was recorded on the fly amidst all the excitement of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
“They've pulled this together so quickly,” Adrienne Kakoullis of Holmes Creative Communications said Thursday afternoon. “They're in the studio right now.”
Although details are still sketchy, she confirmed that about 40 Canadian vocalists and performers had gathered to record a new version of the song Wavin' Flag .
Bryan Adams, Nelly Furtado, Feist, Nickleback, Emily Haines, Ron Sexsmith and Colin James are just a few of the Canadian performing artists currently in Vancouver for the Olympic Games who may have lent their voices to the super-group recording which sounds similar to We Are the World , the 1985 charity single for African famine relief. Diana Krall is also in town, as is Broken Social Scene.
“All of Canada's best to record @iamknaan's Wavin' Flag for Haiti in Van City tomorrow!” reads a post that went out on Twitter yesterday.
Mr. Ezrin, who is producing the Wavin' Flag project, worked on Pink Floyd's album The Wall . He recently made a new album with Peter Gabriel and owns the Nimbus School of Recording Arts in Vancouver.
The afternoon session was videotaped for a possible future television broadcast by John Brunton of Insight Productions, the Toronto production company behind Canadian Idol and Battle of the Blades .
“I'm not at liberty to discuss it at the moment,” said Mr. Brunton said by phone on Wednesday, confirming that he was indeed in Vancouver to film a major project.
“I'll probably have a better opportunity to talk about it tomorrow,” he added. “I'm muzzled.”
Wavin' Flag will also be featured as the anthem for this year's World Cup in South Africa. K'Naan sang the same song at Canada For Haiti , a broadcast telethon that raised $13.5-million for Haitian quake victims last month.
A similar broadcast telethon, Hope For Haiti , brought Madonna, Coldplay, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake and U2's Bono together in live performances from London, New York and Los Angeles.
In Vancouver, two local radio stations, Red FM and Radio India, have raised more than $1.5-million through individual listeners who came out in droves to pledge donations for quake-torn Haiti.
Rumours of the project began swirling last week when K'naan posted this message on Twitter: “Coming soon: Me & Bob Ezrin (producer of Pink Floyd's The Wall) are working on something epic! But u didn't hear from me ok?”
The Toronto-based hip-hop musician wrote: “Sadly, leaving Peru already but heading to Vancouver to do something that'll hopefully help some lives in need.”
Proceeds are to go to Free The Children, War Child Canada and World Vision. | |

03.09.2010, 08:43 | K’Naan’s Wavin’ Flag to
Premiere on Thursday
Much Music, March 8th, 2010 - The video that MuchMusic has been buzzing
about for weeks is set to premiere this Thursday. The Canadian all-star
charity cover of K’Naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” will finally air this week
featuring an impressive line up of Canuck celebrities including Emily
Haines, Jully Black, Fefe Dobson, Hedley, Stereos and as many as 50
artists total.
During MOD Live At The Base Hedley, Jully Black and K’Naan all revealed
details about the song. K’Naan said, “I wanted to take the song away
from being my song to being our song. It has become an instrument for
other people to use for positivity.”
Jully Black also spilled some details while in Whistler. “It was the
most humbling experience,” she told VJ Jesse Giddings. “It’s a wonderful
thing for our generation. We’ve seen ‘We Are The World,’ ‘Tears Are Not
Enough’ and now with the ‘Wavin’ Flag’”
The video was filmed at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, which was
founded by Bryan Adams. Hedley’s Jacob Hoggard, always the joker, told
MOD about Bryan, “He was downstairs using the candy machine.”
There's been no specific word on whether or not Avril appears in the video
