In 1984, Ethiopia faced a catastrophic drought leading to famine, affecting nearly eight million people and resulting in substantial mortality estimates between 500,000 and one million.
Influenced by catastrophic reports, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure quickly coordinated a supergroup to record 'Do They Know It's Christmas?', which became a worldwide phenomenon, topping charts globally.
The success of Geldof's charity effort inspired Harry Belafonte to create 'We Are The World', featuring top Black artists and a collaborative spirit that unified musicians globally for humanitarian causes.
Germany's response to the crisis included the charity song 'Nackt im Wind', with prominent artists of the time, demonstrating a collective artistic effort to combat famine.
