Music for Climate Change - Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba
We have been talking about change a lot on the forums, so I thought it appropriate to post this here. Not sure if this is your thing or not, but figure it's a good example of how musicians and overall people are TRYING to do something to better global warming and humanity. Even if you aren't in to the music, add them to your MY SPACE and help spread the word:
Taking a bit from the write up -
"'Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba' is a collaborative album that fuses Cuba's beloved The Buena Vista Social Club and some of today's biggest artists such as U2, Coldplay, Sting, as well as some of the buzziest bands, including The Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand and The Kaiser Chiefs. 'Rhythms Del Mundo' also includes music by famed Cuban singers Omara Portuondo and the last vocal recording of Afro-Cuban bolero singer, Ibrahim Ferrer, who died tragically in 2005. The album is in aid of Artists Project Earth (APE), which lends support for natural disaster relief and climate change awareness. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from sales of the album in the US will be donated to the Music Rising campaign, an instrument replacement fund for musicians of the Gulf Coast. "
