Haitian Beatz

Canadian musicians are waving the Maple Leaf for Haiti, secretly recording a benefit single for the earthquake-ravaged country.

Famed Canadian music producer Bob Ezrin is spearheading the project, which will include Somalian-born Canadian rapper K'naan, performing the K'naan hit song Wavin' Flag .

The recording is taking place Thursday at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, which was founded by Bryan Adams.

The new Olympic anthem-in-the-making was recorded on the fly amidst all the excitement of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

“They've pulled this together so quickly,” Adrienne Kakoullis of Holmes Creative Communications said Thursday afternoon. “They're in the studio right now.”

Although details are still sketchy, she confirmed that about 40 Canadian vocalists and performers had gathered to record a new version of the song Wavin' Flag .

Bryan Adams, Nelly Furtado, Feist, Nickleback, Emily Haines, Ron Sexsmith and Colin James are just a few of the Canadian performing artists currently in Vancouver for the Olympic Games who may have lent their voices to the super-group recording which sounds similar to We Are the World , the 1985 charity single for African famine relief. Diana Krall is also in town, as is Broken Social Scene.

“All of Canada's best to record @iamknaan's Wavin' Flag for Haiti in Van City tomorrow!” reads a post that went out on Twitter yesterday.
