'Wavin' Flag,' a song originally performed by Canadian rapper K'Naan, has become an anthem for Haiti thanks to Young Artists for Haiti.

The Young Artists for Haiti version of 'Wavin' Flag' features [Canadian talent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-by-canadians-for-canadians) like Drake, Justin Bieber, Hawskley Workman, Metric and of course, K'Naan. Produced by Bob Ezrin, the video which would have been a scheduling nightmare has the best of Canada coming together for a good cause (and a good song)!

What's even better, 100% of the proceeds go to Haiti Relief efforts. Wave that flag, Canada!
