Rhythms Del Mundo: Africa … great music supporting the work of Artists Project Earth … Rhythms Del Mundo: Africa features some of the best western and African musicians collaborating on exclusive mixes of recent hits. For this album, Rhythms Del Mundo (RDM) waved goodbye to its friends in Cuba who had contributed to previous albums, and travelled to the source of all rhythm: Africa. In Mali, RDM recorded (among other brilliant musicians), Toumani Diabaté, Bassekou Kouyate, Ali Farka Touré Band, and Rokia Traoré. Sessions also took place in Kenya, South Africa and Swaziland. Members of Miriam Makeba’s band and Senegalese musicians also added their brilliant musicianship to the collaborative tracks. Rhythms Del Mundo: Africa is the long-awaited follow-up to the 2006 smash hit Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba, its successor Rhythms del Mundo: Classics in 2009, and 2011’s Rhythms Del Mundo: Revival – all of which were released in aid of Artists Project Earth. To date the organization has mobilized some of the worlds biggest artists – U2, Coldplay, Eminem, Bob Dylan, Beyoncé, The Rolling Stones, Amy Winehouse, Sting, The Killers, Dizzee Rascal, Plan B, Groove Armada, Gorillaz, Green Day, Buena Vista Social Club, Arctic Monkeys, Jack Johnson and many others – to help champion their cause. “Rhythms Del Mundo have created a beautiful version of my song ‘I Need a Dollar’ to support some wonderful projects around the world.” - Aloe Blacc Formed in the wake of the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster in 2004, APE was the brainchild of Founder and Music Producer, Kenny Young, and aims to raise awareness and funds for climate change alleviation and natural disaster relief projects.
