Hoy, 20 de Noviembre es una fecha importante, es el 25º aniversario de la Convención de los Derechos del Niño y el 35º aniversario de la Gala "Music for UNICEF" de 1979, en donde participaron Abba, Bee Gees, Olivia Newton-John entre otros. Hoy habrá una gala en Nueva York cuyo programa se cita más abajo en inglés y con un video en el que se verá la retransmisión en vivo.
Y con este motivo, "CHIQUITITA" continuará recaudando fondos para UNICEF. 35 años después de que Abba decidiese ceder todos los royalties de esta canción a UNICEF, Abba The Museum se ha unido a UNICEF Suecia para recaudar fondos adicionales para combatir la descriminación hacia las niñas. En muchas partes del mundo las niñas son descriminadas mucho antes de nacer.
Se puede ayudar escuchando la canción "CHIQUITITA" en YouTube, Spotify o iTunes, en el museo o en pressplaytogive.com. Cada vez que escuches la canción, se dará dinero para proyectos que apoyen los derechos de las niñas. En estos 35 años, la canción ha recaudado 4 millones de dólares.
En los próximos 5 años, también se invitará a artistas contemporáneos a los parcialmente reconstruídos Estudios Polar del museo para regrabar su propia versión de la canción. La primera ha sido Laleh.
Today, November 20th is an important date, the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the 35th anniversary of the Show "Music for Unicef" of 1979, where Abba, Bee Gees, Olivia Newton-John performed among others. Today there'll be another show in New York to celebrate, the programme is announced below with a live broadcast of the event on video.
Due to all this, "CHIQUITITA" will continue raising more funds for UNICEF. 35 years after Abba decided to give all royalties from this song to UNICEF, Abba The Museum has now teamed up with UNICEF Sweden to raise additional funds to combar discrimination against young girls. In many parts of the world young girls are discriminated even before they are born.
You can help by listening the song "CHIQUITITA" on YouTube, Sportify or iTunes, at the museum booths or on pressplaytogive.com. Every time you play the song, money will be given to projects that support the rights of young girls. In these 35 years it has raised 4 million dollars.
Over the next 5 years, contemporary artists will also be invited to the partially reconstructed Polar Studio at the museum to rerecord their own version of the song. The first such artist is Laleh.
