video: "sala" - afterquake (abigail washburn & the shanghai restoration project)


Check out the video for "Sala" by Abigail Washburn and The Shanghai Restoration Project, from Afterquake, an album dedicated to the Chinese families affected by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The project remixes voices and sounds from the China earthquake zone to raise awareness for victims still in need. This is one of my favorite tracks:



The song, performed by Luo Shuang, was recently featured on the 25th anniversary We Are The World / United in Song digital compilation. The video, by Luke Mines, was filmed at the relocated Wenchuan Shuimou Middle School in Emeishan, China.

For more information about Afterquake, go to the project's website here. Proceeds from the sale of the album and premium packages will go to Sichuan Quake Relief. And for more from my pal David Liang, aka The Shanghai Restoration Project, go here.
