On May 29, Carlos Santana and his wife/fellow musician Cindy Blackman Santana will release their own version of John Lennon’s classic rally-for-peace “Imagine” to raise money for new SongAid campaign to fight hunger during the COVID-19 crisis.

According to a press release, “each week SongAid will release new music from a growing list of contributing artists. Each time a fan listens to a SongAid song, the streaming proceeds will go to WhyHunger’s Rapid Response Fund.”

“It is an honor to work alongside WhyHunger on the SongAid campaign,” the couple wrote via press release. “We have always been strong supporters of their work and it gives us great joy to share John Lennon’s message of peace and light, together with them, to make a tangible difference in the world and feed those in need. The world is in need of a spiritual hug, healing, and love and it is our hope that the divine intentionality of ‘Imagine,’ combined with the energy, interpretation, and new arrangement, will touch your heart and feed those in need. We are in service to Yoko Ono, and everyone at WhyHunger for the incredible work they are doing and their beautiful mission to feed the hungry.”

Upcoming covers will spotlight Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Tom Morello and more.
