Hasta la Raíz | Song Across Latin America | Intl Committee of the Red Cross + Playing For Change
We are proud to share our new video of the song “Hasta la Raíz,” by Natalia Lafourcade and Leonel García, and recorded during pandemic times to send a message to the relatives of missing people in Latin America: You are not alone in the search of your loved ones. This is a joint project by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Playing For Change in honor of the International Day of the Disappeared. This video features nine Latin American countries and more than 15 musicians including singers such as Leon Gieco (Argentina) and Susana Baca (Peru). Also included are a group of extraordinary musicians who play several Latin American instruments: the accordion king from Colombia, Garifuna drums from Honduras, cavaquinhos from Brazil, guitars from El Salvador, cajon from Peru, and the Guatemalan National Symphony Orchestra.
In Latin America, each day dozens of people disappear for diverse causes related to armed conflicts, violence, migration, natural disasters, among others. Som
