Marilyn Mastin Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 This is a great thing that Mika and the other singers are doing. It's also good that the song (from what I've heard of it on the brief videos above) sounds African, rather than European pop. That's much more authentic. I hope the song raises awareness and a lot of money for the cause. I really hope they find a cure for that terrible disease very soon. Happy Christmas everyone!
