Venezuela Aid Live was a concert to benefit Venezuela in Cúcuta, Colombia, a city near the Venezuelan border, on 22 February 2019. The all-day concert, called Música por Venezuela: Ayuda y Libertad (transl. Music for Venezuela: Aid and Freedom),[2] was organized by Richard Branson and Bruno Ocampo, and featured over thirty of the best known Latin American artists[3] from nine countries. The concert's slogan was, "Let the stars shine for all".[4]
Venezuela Live Aid's charity page said, "Not that long ago, [Venezuela] was the wealthiest country in South America. Now it is facing the worst humanitarian crisis in the Western Hemisphere."[5] The purpose of the concert was to raise money and to pressure Nicolás Maduro[3] to "open Venezuela's border so humanitarian aid stockpiled on Venezuela's borders can finally reach those millions who need it the most".[6] Donations of US$2.5 million were raised online in the first four days after the concert.[7]
The concert was entirely funded through donations,[8] artists performed without charge,[9] and the event itself was free.[10] The concert was livestreamed on the Internet, with the aim to raise funds via website donations.[11] The only webpage authorized for donations was the official website at www.VenezuelaAidLive.com.[12]
