Cumba Media posted a video from the the Annie Lennox Sings Charity. This charity is raising money to combat AIDS in South Africa. It is a very powerful video, depicting the faces and statistics of HIV/AIDS in South Africa. It is a long song, almost four minutes, but the images and messages are provocative in that they offer hope along side the devastation of this disease.
