Big Change

Natalie Portman is the executive producer of the compilation album Big Change: Songs for FINCA, whose proceeds will help benefit FINCA, an international microfinance organization. FINCA helps support some of the lowest income people on earth with finances that help them get jobs, build assets and begin to create viable economic growth designed to move them from poverty. Portman is an Ambassador of Hope for FINCA. "I am honored that so many of my favorite artists have so generously lent these beautiful songs in the name of ending poverty," she says, and we thank her for asking them to participate.

The album's track listing is:

01. Tokyo Police Club - Be Good
02. Beirut - My Night With the Prostitute From Marseille
03. Tom Brosseau - Plaid Lined Jacket
04. Curumin - Tudo Bem Malandro
05. The Shins - Australia (Bjorn Yttling Mix)
06. Brett Dennen - Ain't No Reason
07. Sean Hayes - Turnaroundturnmeon
08. Thee More Shallows - Oh Yes, Another Mother

13. Devendra Banhart - There's Always Something Happening
14. M. Ward - What Is a Soul?
