maltatoday | SUNDAY • 29 DECEMBER 2024 3 MUSIC Ta' Xmun Caterers officially launch the Christmas edition of Kurt Calleja's music video TA' Xmun Caterers have offi- cially unveiled the music video for the Christmas version of Għal Kulħadd by Kurt Calleja. This song is part of a campaign supporting the impactful work of three exceptional organiza- tions: Angela House, led by the Ursuline Sisters, Inspire Malta, and Hospice Malta. Alvin Borg Velasco Hidalgo, a spokesperson for Ta' Xmun Ca- terers, explained: "This music video is not just about celebrat- ing the festive season but about inspiring hope and reminding everyone that each person de- serves a second chance in life. It's especially important that we, too, give ourselves the op- portunity to grow, particularly in the fast-paced world we live in today." He emphasized that "every organization, entity, and business has a responsibility to promote social awareness. This year, as part of our Christmas campaign, we are proud to support these three outstand- ing organizations, which make a significant difference in our community." Representatives from the sup- ported organizations expressed their gratitude to Ta' Xmun Caterers for this initiative and encouraged more businesses to follow suit by supporting vari- ous other charities and causes across Malta and Gozo. Kurt Calleja shared how Alvin approached him last summer with the idea of creating a so- cially driven song with a pos- itive message for Christmas. After several discussions, they chose Għal Kulħadd, a song Kurt had already written dur- ing challenging moments in life when one feels lost or dis- couraged. He described it as "a song that brings courage to everyone." Alvin Borg Velasco Hidalgo concluded with an inspiring message: "Let's embrace the message of this campaign and carry it with us, not just during this festive season but through- out the entire year."
