Colombian and international artists are uniting for a cause, organizing a solidarity concert in Bogotá on August 23 to aid earthquake victims. The event, dubbed 'Voces por la vida,' will feature stars like Karol G, Miguel Bosé, and Sebastián Yatra, alongside many others.

Organizers stated the music industry's goal is to "donate their work to help rebuild the most affected areas and contribute to families who lost their homes." The concert will be held at Vive Claro, Colombia's largest venue. All proceeds will go to Presentes Corporación for reconstruction efforts following the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that has already claimed over two hundred lives.

Colombian superstar Karol G will participate via livestream, collaborating with her Fundación Con Cora, which supports vulnerable women and communities. The public can attend by donating 100,000 Colombian pesos (approximately $32) to Presentes Corporación. Promoters highlighted that "national and international artists, concert promoters, producers, media, brands, suppliers, technicians, and hundreds of people behind the shows decided to join forces." They are contributing their work and resources without charging fees or direct costs.
