The total collected sum will be allotted to buy household equipment to be distributed to the needed in coordination with the government of Veracruz.
November 9 at night thousands of people will succor Veracruz through music and singing. The artists will perform for free.
Several artists are already collecting provisions for Veracruz’s damaged and will double their efforts in the concert. Yuri said that “Mexicans can not remain idle in the face of a misfortune for those who has lost everything”, and she thanks support by those who have generously echoed her call.
Besides their love for music, these singers and groups share a common love for Mexico. Most of them were born in Mexico or feel linked to it by their Mexican roots, like Ulises Quintero, from Los Angeles, California; K –Paz de la Sierra was formed in Chicago, Illinois, yet its roots are truly Mexican; Margarita La Diosa de la Cumbia, and Humerto Pabón senior (CañaReal) are Colombians by origin, but now they are Mexican citizens by law and personal will.
