Latvian musicians support the charity
To promote the goal and draw the attention to the event, Latvian musicians have recorded the song Vai tu mani dzirdi (Can you hear me?) which is penned by Uldis Marhilēvičs and Guntars Račs (lyricist of Latvian Eurovision Song Contest entries such as What for?, I hear your heart, and Dziesma par laimi).

The song is already being aired on the Latvian radio stations and the video is broadcast on TV, but the event to help the families is ongoing.

Great initiative from Latvia!
Why don't they send this to Oslo instead of the monotone What For? It's a million times better! 
Terrible news from Latvia about the consequences of the financial crisis for the poorest of the poor. My respect goes to all people involved in this charity project.
Even though I can't understand it, I think it is so much better than band aid and live aid put together. I even think it's better than the help for Haiti single, the American one and the British one!!!
Good initiative....
