Here is news of musicians coming together for a cause. A number of musicians across Africa are teaming together to record an album containing the hits of U2. The album is a tribute to Bono’s charity and following the singer’s good work the proceeds from the album will go to Global Fund charity.
Bono who established the musical band U2 is renowned for his humanitarian efforts in Africa. He has established an organization called DATA (debt, AIDS trades, Africa) whose mission is to fight HIV and to support victims of AIDS.
The combined effort of musicians including Angelique Kidjo, Grammy winner Soweto Gospel Choir, Hip Hop group African underground All-Stars and Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars will encourage other celebrities to help poor people all over the globe. Such gifts have come occasionally from the stars of the singing world - remember when Michael Jackson and others sang for Africa and its children in the eighties when - ‘we are the world’ rocked everyone and brought tear to every eyes.
