APE Music …from Rhythms Del Mundo
Rhythms Del Mundo (RDM) is a collective of top musicians and producers who since 2006 have released five albums to date in support of the UK charity Artists Project Earth. In chronological order these albums are: Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba; Rhythms Del Mundo: Classics; Rhythms Del Mundo: Revival; Rhythms Del Mundo: Rio + 20 and the new album, Rhythms Del Mundo: Africa.
RDM have worked with some of the biggest names in the music business: from The Rolling Stones to Amy Winehouse; the Killers to Bob Dylan; Coldplay to the Red Hot Chili Peppers! The first four albums had a Latin vibe and the RDM collective included such luminaries as Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo from the Buena Vista Social Club, and now with the latest album, some of the greatest African musicians in the world including Toumani Diabaté, Bassekou Kouyate, Ali Farka Touré Band, and Rokia Traoré have graced the band with their presence.
Overseen by legendary songwriter/producer Kenny Young, who co-wrote the famous ‘Under the Boardwalk’ and ‘Ai no Corrida’, Rhythms Del Mundo’s unique sound has carved its own niche in the contemporary music world. To date RDM have performed a select choice of live performances, including Live 8 in Hamburg (broadcast to an audience of a billion) and live concerts in Berlin and Milan, together with album launches in the UK. Future live shows are in the planning stage. These will include an Afro-Cuban line-up of renowned musicians with special guest stars.
