If you haven`t already seen this YouTube video of the talented young man performing Lady Gaga`s `Bad Romance,` this is your chance. We`ll let it speak for itself, as choosing our favorite part would be like deciding between children -- we could never. The banana mic? The Mickey Mouse lounge wear?

Today Haitians united through song, marched in stoic defiance through the rubble and banded together to peacefully air the voice of survival. Music in the face of disaster.
Among the amazing organizations already mobilizing to offer aid and support are
MUSIC FOR RELIEF the non-profit charity comprising of artists, music industry professionals, and fans work together to support disaster relief wherever it hits.
Music For Relief have already had an incredible impact in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and are now reaching out to those in Haiti.
Akwaaba Music, a digital label pushing the culture and sounds of Africa and its Diasporas, and a member of Music For Relief are in the process of putting together a compilation of music from Haiti, due to go on sale immanently, all proceeds will go towards charities on the ground in Haiti. Will post here as soon as it`s up and on sale!
In the mean time please spare a moment to take a listen to some of the underground artists, many of them young and just gathering momentum whom have been confirmed amongst the fatalities or are still missing. Click on the names to be forwarded to their sites.
