Around the time that the English remake version of the song "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" was released, it was announced that Emilio and Gloria Estefan were planning to record a Spanish version of the song featuring musicians of Latino descent.

Emilio and Gloria Estefan, along with Quincy Jones and other singers joined forces with Univision to record a Spanish version of "We Are the World" to raise money for Haitian earthquake victims.

Olga Tañon was the first artist to put her voice on February 17, 2010, because previous commitments prevented her from participating in the recording group.

The singer said that she was assigned to interpret a stanza which corresponds to the one Cyndi Lauper sung in the original 1985 version.

[1] Others who participated in a previous recording session were Jose Feliciano, José Luis Rodríguez and Ricardo Montaner.
