Teletón

Chilenos raised nearly $60 million USD during their weekend telethon. The event featured Inti-Illimani, Juanes, Los Tres, and Shakira (via video). It was hosted by the Jerry Lewis of Spanish-language telethons, Don Francisco of Sabado Gigante. Taking up way too much time between musical acts were the appearances of business leaders decked out in company fleeces, fleece vests, etc...promising funds which incidentally probably are all coming out Sebastian Pinera's pocket, titan of business that he is.

Closing out the show was Diego Torres performing "Color Esperanza", something of an anthem for Chile at the moment.
