Juanes Teams Up With Bono
Juanes has been called the Bono of Latin America, and now the Colombian rocker has paired up with Bono for a peaceful protest in Japan. The pair flew out to Yokohama, Japan, where the upcoming G8 summit is to be held in order to make a stand against poverty.
Both Juanes and Bono have been recognized and dedicated to humanitarian work. Juanes set up the Mi Sangre Foundation to aid landmine victims in Colombia, and when tempers flared up this year between Latin American leaders Juanes arranged for a peaceful concert, Paz Sin Fronteras.
I love and totally support musicians who use their celebrity for good, and if you have ever been to a Juanes concert you know his concern is genuine.
