Yesterday Colombian singer Juanes announced a star studded lineup, including Carlos Vives and Alejandro Sanz, for a May 24th benefit concert at the Gibson amphitheater in Los Angeles. Colombia sin minas seeks to raise money for children that were victims of anti-personal mines in Colombia. Colombia ranks third for the most activated mines, just behind Afghanistan and Chechnya. Juanes wants to raise awareness and in a statement said:

Many people, including some media, are not informed about how severe this problem is in Colombia, where there is an average of three dead people because of this artifacts.

The event is sponsored by the Mines Observatory from the Colombian Vice-presidency, UNICEF Colombia, and the United for Colombia Foundation, and the Adopt-a-minefield foundation.
