As a follow up to our story last Sunday about Gustavo Cerati recording a new track with Roger Waters in New York City, we have a picture and more information of their meeting, thanks to Eduardo Balerdi and Pedro Cabrera.
The song was recorded for the Fundación Alas (a foundation to help improve health and education for children in Latin America). According to Ruth Infarinato (Alas Public Relations Director), Cerati was in New York from March 8th until March 14th, he then went back to Argentina to work on a demo that Roger Waters gave to him. In this session one of the best Argentinian musicians, Pedro Aznar, worked together with Cerati and Waters.
For this new song Cerati wrote the lyrics, played the lead guitar, and sang. By the end of April Waters and Cerati will get together to finish the new track. The picture [click thumbnail] shows, from left to right: Roger, Gustavo Cerati, Pedro Aznar.

 Fancy seeing Roger Waters and his band perform in Denver this year? And, how about getting backstage passes with your tickets?
This is the opportunity awaiting two lucky people, thanks to Jon Carin. He is auctioning off a pair of tickets and backstage passes to the Denver show to raise money for his daughter's school in New York, to try to compensate for budget cuts from the city of New York this year.
If you fancy helping Jon out in his fundraising attempt, seeing Roger live in Denver, AND meeting Jon backstage, then check out this auction on eBay.com.
UPDATE: the auction finished with the winner paying $1700 for the tickets and passes, raising a tidy sum for Jon's daughter's school.

Last Saturday (March 8th) saw Gustavo Cerati [left], leader of Soda Stereo, the biggest band in Latin America, record a new track with Roger Waters in New York City.
The song - recorded in Phillip Glass's Looking Glass studio - was recorded for the Fundación Alas (a foundation to help improve health and education for children in Latin America), and the collaboration was engineered by Colombian singer Shakira. As yet nothing has been
announced as to how the track will be used but of course, once we know this, we will let you know. UPDATE: despite earlier reports, the song title hasn't been confirmed yet.
Our thanks to Juan Cricco and Guillermo Porras for the info.
