On March 26, Universal Music TV released Rhythms Del Mundo, a new album which fuses the hot Cuban sounds of Rhythms del
Mundo featuring musicians from Buena Vista Social Club™ in collaboration
with some of the most politically active bands around the world, including Coldplay, Arctic
Monkeys, U2, Franz Ferdinand, The Kaiser Chiefs, Jack Johnson and many
others.
Featuring the vocals of famed Cuban vocalist Omara
Portuondo, and the last ever recording of Ibrahim
Ferrer, the album is from Artists Project Earth (APE), which raises
money for climate change awareness and
natural disaster relief.
To keep in line with the environmental stance of the project, the album
packaging is 100% bio-degradable and recyclable. This revolutionary
design consists of an album disc tray and outer cardboard parcel, which
forms a completely dust free and eco-friendly package.
With support
from a wide variety of environmentalists such as Al Gore, Bono and
Chris Martin, proceeds from the sales of Rhythms Del Mundo will go to
the charity, Artists Project Earth, which supports actions against
climate change.
For UK residents, the site is hosting an extremely fun online RDM
‘match the rhythm’ game. Various eco-friendly prizes are on offer for
the winners.
