In Paris, she has just recorded “Désolé,” a song performed with fifteen other artists for the benefit of the victims of the earthquake. Canadian singer Natasha St-Pier asked herself what to do so that Haiti won’t be forgotten, once you have donated to charitable causes and once the media wave that followed the earthquake of January 12 has passed.
