ALAS, which means wings in Spanish, has announced two upcoming concerts aimed at seeking aid for Latin American children in need. El Concierto Para los Niños (the Concert for the Children) includes performances by Latin music superstars Shakira, Juanes, Chayanne, David Bisbal, Ricky Martin, Paulina Rubio, Juan Luis Guerra, Miguel Bosé, Alejandro Sanz, Calle 13 and others. The gigs take place May 17 -- one at Mexico City's La Plaza de la Constitución (El Zócalo) and the other at Buenos Aires' Constanera Sur. More then 300,000 fans are expected to attend the two concerts. It's a worthy cause, and one of many that frequent activists Shakira, Juanes, Juan Luis Guerra and Ricky Martin are involved in.
