Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Kaiser Chiefs and Coldplay are amongst the acts who have contributed tracks to a unique compilation album.
‘Rhythms Del Mundo’ is released in the US on November 14 and has been put together by Cuban collective the Buena Vista Social Club.
On the album, Radiohead’s ‘High and Dry’ gets a special makeover courtesy of El Lele de Los Van Van, while U2 team up with Coco Freeman for an interpretation of ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.’
Proceeds from the album will go directly to Artists Project Earth, which seeks to raise awareness of climate change and help those affected by natural disasters.
Thom Yorke commented: "We need a law, we need to have the government put climate change in its place. If you leave industry to sort it out on a voluntary basis, that’s never going to happen.
“So everybody if they’ve got any concerns about climate change has to register that concern with their government officials because it’s the only way to go."
