Live 8 At Eden: Africa Calling

This album is a record of a unique day, in celebration of the music and spirit of Africa, featuring Youssou N'Dour, Angelique Kidjo, Mariza, Tinariwen, Daara J, Thomas Mapfumo, Ayub Ogada and many more! This special compilation was lovingly compiled from many hours of recordings from the Live 8 Africa Calling concert at Eden on 2 July 2006 with the prime goal of representing the musical highlights of that special day. It includes 8 tracks not previously released from this event.

"....probably the best day of African music ever seen in the UK. The artists surpassed themselves, providing one amazement after another." (fRoots)
