“We Are The World” became an international sensation in 1985. The single sold more than 7.5 million copies and won Grammy Awards for “Song of the Year” and “Record of the Year”— but more importantly, it focused both media and public attention on the famine that was killing millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa and the endemic problems of hunger in Africa that still persist today. Now, USA for AFRICA presents the 20th Anniversary of this very special moment! Proceeds from the DVD will again enable USA for AFRICA to help ease hunger and fight AIDS in Africa, and to fight poverty-related issues here in the US.

The 20th Anniversary of one of the most historic and important recording sessions of all time, featuring 45 of the biggest names in American popular music, is now commemorated on this four-hour, two-DVD set!

“We Are The World” became an international sensation in 1985. The single sold more than 7.5 million copies and won Grammy Awards for “Song of the Year” and “Record of the Year,” but more importantly, it focused both media and public attention on the famine that was killing millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa and the endemic problems of hunger in Africa that still persist today.

This set, produced by the award-winning DVD producer Paul Brownstein, features more than four hours of material from the all-night recording session. The DVD includes an expanded version of the original “Making-of Special” along with the 10th Anniversary documentary PLUS more than two hours of bonus footage that include the individual artists rehearsing and recording their solos, behind-the-scenes camaraderie and banter, and the long, arduous labor of love that produced one of the great “anthems” of all time. The DVD also includes footage of “We Are The World” being performed at the American Music Awards, the Grammy Awards, and the historic Live Aid concert.

Hosted by Jane Fonda, this set features such iconic artists as Harry Belafonte, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Bob Geldof, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Willie Nelson, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, and Stevie Wonder, conducted and produced by Quincy Jones.

Proceeds from this new DVD will once again enable USA for AFRICA, “We Are The World’s” sponsor, to help ease hunger and fight AIDS in Africa, and to fight poverty-related issues in the United States.

ambient/new age • For the first time ever, the Quiet Music series is available in its entirety!

• Originally released in the mid-’80s on cassette, and later in a truncated 2-CD edition.

• A collection of pieces created between 1983 and 1986 out of respect for silence; the gentle electronics of Roach’s synthesizers mix with flute, electric piano, and nature sounds to flow like breath, enveloping the listener in a sustained, delicate, translucent atmosphere.

• Much of this music began as a series of early-’80s recordings commissioned by healing-arts programs, and later used for everything from personal meditation to birthing music. Today the pieces still stand as a cornerstone in bodywork, yoga, and healing therapies.

On this album we hear the great virtuosity of Fumie Hirara on the koto, sometimes known as “the Japanese harp,” and the subtle playing of Sôzan Chiaki Kariya, a master of the shakuhachi flute. Contemporary compositions are included, as well as much older pieces, some of them attributed to the founder of koto music, Yatsuhashi Kengyô (1614–1685).

The disc features two duets: one with Erwan’s brother Guénolé on the “trélombarde” (a longer bombard), and one with the singer Beñat Achiary. The duo with Beñat presents music that is purely intuitive, created on the spot, while the duet with Guénolé results from much patient working and re-working.
