Lin-Manuel Miranda is continuing his support of relief efforts for Puerto Rico, which is largely still without power over two weeks after Hurricane Maria hit land on Sept. 20, by releasing a new song featuring several other artists of Puerto Rican decent.
The song, titled “Almost Like Praying,” features vocals from “Despacito” star Luis Fonsi, Camila Cabello and Jennifer Lopez.
Other singers featured on the track include Marc Anthony, Ruben Blades, Pedro Capo, Dessa, Gloria Estefan, Fat Joe, Juan Luis Guerra, Alex Lacamoire, John Leguizamo, Rita Moreno, Ednita Nazario, Joell Ortiz, Anthony Ramos, Gina Rodriguez, Gilberto Santa Rosa, PJ Sin Suela, Tommy Torres and Ana Villafañe.

The video above shows footage of the song being recorded, as well as a call to donate to hispanicfederation.org. Proceeds will go to The Hispanic Federation’s Unidos Disaster Relief Fund to aid relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
Miranda has been outspoken in his criticism of Donald Trump’s response to Hurricane Maria’s impact on the small U.S. territory, both on the morning and late night show circuit as well as Twitter.
You're going straight to hell, @realDonaldTrump.
No long lines for you.
Someone will say, "Right this way, sir."
They'll clear a path. https://t.co/xXfJH0KJmw— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) September 30, 2017
