Rhythms Del Mundo - 'Cuba' and 'Classics' Tops The Million Sales Mark

RDM featuring The Killers' version of Hotel California available on iTunes

APE allocates $50,000 to be sent directly to organisations working in devastated areas of Global South

Artists Project Earth are pleased to announce that the combined sales of their two albums, 'Rhythms Del Mundo - Cuba' and 'Rhythms Del Mundo - Classics' have now topped the one million unit sales mark.

"This is brilliant news," says APE founder, Kenny Young. "These albums have topped the charts in many countries and continue to sell really well. Artists Project Earth would like to thank the great artists and musicians who have so generously supported our cause, and all those people who have bought the albums. Now we are working hard to ensure that in turn, we support some of the best projects in the world, that are working to fight dangerous climate change."

To celebrate the success of the albums, APE will be launching a hot new radio-mix of RDM ft. The Killers' version of "Hotel California" - available on i-Tunes and through selected outlets.

APE will be promoting the new RDM Classics album and the work of the charity leading up to and during the United Nations COP15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.

Herbert Girardet, Trustee of APE and climate change expert says, “When concerned individuals work together in creative ways, great things can happen. The simple act of downloading a track of wonderful music or buying the RDM CDs really can make the world of difference to those people suffering on the frontline of climate change.”

In light of the natural disasters that have occurred recently in the global South, APE has allocated $50,000 which will be sent directly to organisations working on the ground in these devastated areas.

APE founder Kenny Young explains, "Artists Project Earth was started in response to The Tsunami in '04, and has a founding-principle to support those suffering in the aftermath of natural disasters. We will be sending these funds via small NGOs that are working effectively towards rebuilding the needs of local communities. Thanks to all those who have bought the album - your money is being well spent."
