On August 16, 2005, flight 708, bound for Fort-de-France, of the Colombian company West Caribbean, chartered by a Martinican travel agency, crashed in a mountainous region, west of Venezuela.
The toll is heavy: 160 victims, including 152 Martinican passengers, returning from vacation in Panama and the 8 crew members.
It is a real trauma for Martinique, a considerable human loss on the scale of its 360,000 inhabitants.
Fundraising
The families of victims of the West Caribbean air crash are uniting to shed light on the causes of the accident, defend their rights and pay tribute to the missing, in a collective, named A.V.C.A. (The Air Disaster Victims Association of August 16, 2005).
In 2014, in order to raise funds, the AVCA, which does not receive any subsidies, had the idea of organizing a solidarity concert. To announce this event, a song written by Serge BILE and set to music by Renaud RINTO, who ceded their rights to the association, is created.
"On 'n'oublie pas "(We don't forget)
The explicit song is called "We don't forget", to remind us of the determination of the AVCA collective, with a view to appease the ills of families and legal proceedings.
