Colombian artists and sports figures, including Juanes and Alejandro Sanz, have launched Marea Viva to support rebuilding in Chocó after the 10 August earthquake. The campaign aims to fund safer, earthquake-resistant homes and urgent recovery work in a region affected by heavy rain and difficult transport links.

Organisers of Marea Viva have pledged $3.2 million and seek at least $5 million more; Juan Gabriel’s commemorative vinyl is due on 11 September, while the awards take place on 10 September in Minneapolis.
