Band Aid 30 - Do They Know It's Christmas? (Official Video) [4K]

Details

Description

With Band Aid 30, the baton was passed to a third generation of musicians to continue the legacy of using music for social change. In 2014 there was an urgent need for help to tackle a new disease – Ebola - spreading throughout parts of west Africa. This version of the song was recorded in November, at London’s SARM Studios, where the original Band Aid single had been recorded in 1984.
The lyrics were slightly modified and there were other language versions. Carla Bruni leading the French and Die Toten Hosen lead vocalist Campino leading the German version. The video for Band Aid 30 was first shown on the results show of UK TV’s The X Factor and, as with the earlier versions, it became the fastest selling single of the year.
