Cuba’s million-selling band – ‘Rhythms Del Mundo’ – release a new album in aid of Haiti’s earthquake victims.
Artists Project Earth has a long history of raising funds to help those suffering from natural disasters. Now, in the light of the most recent and devastating earthquake in Haiti, APE and their Cuban house-band Rhythms Del Mundo are launching a fantastic new album, which – if sales of the previous two albums are anything to go by – will help to raise thousands of pounds for disaster relief and recovery.
In solidarity with the people from their neighbouring island, Cuba’s Rhythms Del Mundo have worked with the unmistakable sounds of artists including U2, Green Day, Radiohead, Gorillaz, Bob Dylan, Franz Ferdinand, KT Tunstall and many others, to create an album of exciting music that not only will you enjoy, but will actively help to relieve suffering and rebuild lives in Haiti.
Now all you have to do is make a donation* and download your copy of Rhythms Del Mundo: Haiti – and of course, tell as many people as you can about this important initiative! Thank you.
For more information visit: www.apeuk.org/haiti/• The album RRP is £9.99 – a donation of this amount or above will be greatly appreciated. We do however understand if your circumstances are such that you need to make a smaller donation.
“It would seem probable that ‘trigger’ leadership on carbon reduction is up to people like us now, all acting within our different circles of influence. If we can create enough of a push, governments will have to respond. As many commentators are saying in the various Copenhagen post-mortem fora, meaningful bottom-up progress is not just possible, but holds the potential for magical surprises in the crucial few years ahead.” Jeremy Leggett, Founder SolarCentury
Artists Project Earth aims to create a better world by bringing the power of music and the arts to 21st century challenges. It supports effective projects and awareness raising initiatives to combat climate change and raises funds for natural disaster relief.
Almost all climate scientists agree that manmade climate change is real and we need to take immediate action to avert catastrophic effects on both humans and ecosystems. The need to prevent global temperatures from rising by more than two degrees above pre-industrial levels is vital.
The only way in which we can prevent this is by reducing the amount of fossil fuel we burn. Total world emissions must be stabilized and reduced, with the rich world taking the lead by making very large cuts within a few decades. That means big cuts right away. But it can't happen unless there is a massively enhanced public awareness of the need for action.

Through music and the arts, APE aims to achieve permanent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to levels that minimise further degradation of ecological systems and human livelihood.
APE recruits internationally known musicians and artists through albums, concerts, art exhibitions and art related projects to raise awareness of climate change and funds for campaigns and disaster relief.
We identify both the opportunities that enable people, especially in the world's richest countries, to reduce their emissions and the obstacles that hold people back. We devise innovative and effective ways of communication that encourage people to share this experience.
We recognise that individuals cannot make the required changes on their own. We aim to create a powerful and vocal community of people working together to move technology, government and business forward to reduce emissions and make real and lasting changes to the way we live. All our projects will demonstrate that our vision of stabilizing greenhouse gas emissions is practically attainable. APE believes that the many of the solutions are within reach, if only we have the will.
APE’s approach is informed by a set of operating principles that we feel passionately about. Read details of our operating principles.
