Saddle Creek artist Orenda Fink had been going to Haiti since 2003. Her time there inspired her to do art shows and write music. Her debut album Invisible Ones is directly attributed to her travels there.

In the aftermath of the tragic earthquake, Orenda has shared her thoughts on the country that she has formed a special bond to on her web site.

“Despite my profound sadness, what I also need to share with you is my abiding belief in the love, wisdom, beauty and magic that lies (often undiscovered) in this much maligned country,” writes Orenda. “They have never needed us more than at this moment in time and history.”

In addition, Orenda and Saddle Creek are offering Invisible Ones for free download for the rest of the month. This debut album even draws its title from Orenda’s trips to the impoverished county. They offer this download in hopes that it will inspire others to donate to the relief effort.
