From the biggest piece to the smallest part of this industry machine: we are all in this together.
This is a united voice, a voice of Hope and Togetherness and a Joining of Strength: values that define all of us and that are now more needed than ever.
But above all, it's a common voice, calling for a better and more humane world.
For the first time in Spain, more than 40 artists have come together and given their services for free to make this record, together with a star performance from Brian May (Queen). The recording is a joint venture from the major record companies, in an unprecedented and trail-blazing gesture: a demonstration of unconditional and solid support to the rest of the
Music Industry.
