Despite the commotion about the Alexandra Burke version of Hallelujah, Natalia & Gabriel Rios recorded a new version of the Hallelujah-song for the 1212 – Help Haiti charity show on Belgian public and commercial TV stations (één & VTM)
With competition from Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Damien Rice and a lot of others, this version may not necessarily pass the test of time. (Nevertheless a strong performance by Gabriel Rios). But more importantly all profits will be donated to Haiti charity .
Buy the song to support Haiti (not yet available on itunes – 21- Jan 2010)

Indeed well done by Gabriel Rios! Although personally more touched by cover of “Ain’t no shunshine when she’s gone” by Selah Sue and Ronny Mosuse during Haiti 1212 charity show…
