Latin music stars Marc Anthony, Luis Fonsi, Chayanne, Feid, Jay Wheeler, and many more will perform at an international benefit concert livestreamed from Miami to raise money for those impacted by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia.

Supporting a Common Cause

Proceeds from online donations and ticket sales collected during the “Unidos por Los Nuestros,” or “United for Our Own,” concert will address both immediate and long-term needs, including rebuilding homes, repairing schools and community spaces, supporting children, and providing mental health support.

Marc Anthony, a multiple Grammy Award winner, stated that uniting for a common cause and helping fellow human beings facing hardship is a duty we all share. His nonprofit Maestro Cares Foundation will administer the funds along with the Univision Foundation.

Partnering Nonprofit Groups

The proceeds from the concert will support the nonprofit groups All Hands and Hearts, CARE, Global Empowerment Mission, Techo, and World Central Kitchen.

The event was initially created to benefit Venezuela after the magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes rocked northern areas of the country, killing at least 6,300 people. However, plans changed when western parts of Colombia were hit by a deadly 7.4 magnitude earthquake, prompting event organizers to include the neighboring country.

Other musicians are also mobilizing relief efforts. The Venezuelan band Rawayana founded Fundación El After to support impacted young people, while Shakira and other Colombian musicians rallied support for Colombia on social media.
