We got word this week that musician and philanthropist Peter Buffet and R&B/pop star Akon are releasing a new track titled “Blood Into Gold” this Wednesday, March 25th. The song was written to commemorate the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. It will be performed live at the United Nation’s General Assembly Hall on Wednesday night.
Check out the moving video below and purchase the song at iTunes. All proceeds from the download of the single will go to an organization whose purpose is to educate and bring an end to human trafficking worldwide.
Peter Buffett and Akon’s social action website, IsThereSomethingICanDo.com, will re-launch on March 25th to coincide with the release of “Blood Into Gold.”
