The Cuban American Singer, Actress, and Model Maria Lourdes and other artists will be performing at a concert to benefit the victims of the earthquake that has struck Haiti. The concert will take place at the Magic City Casino on the 24th of January 2010 from 4:00PM to Midnight.

The concert will also feature artists from Miami such as Hansel y Raul [Cuban Salsa Group], Adriana Cata~no [Colombian American Model, TV Reporter, and Actress], Celia Cruz All Stars, Rey El Vikingo [Cuban Rap Artists], and countless other artists.

The country of Haiti deserves international attention as the situation continues to worsen. At the present time, there is no infrastructure as various countries such as USA, Mexico, China, and Europe are helping.

In other areas of the USA, 50 Haitian Orphans arrived at Pittsburgh International Airport where their adoptive parents are waiting.

France has attempted to dampen the spirits by accusing the USA of wanting to «occupy» Haiti. While the underwriter is trying to be objective, it cannot be denied that Haiti suffered from a breakdown in infrastructure. The President of Haiti lost his house and place of work.

Haiti is suffering from a situation in which aid is needed. The lack of government or any authority has made the situation a tense one. France should look itself in the mirror before making condemnations about Haiti.

During the Rwandan genocide of 1994, France stood by and did nothing. The world should remember the phrase of the French Philosopher Norman Geras: «to be indifferent is to stand condenmed».

Maria Lourdes and the artistic community of Miami Florida [as well as the rest of the city] deserves praise and publicity for their efforts in helping the people of Haiti.
