The project is in support of the environmental charity Artist Project Earth (APE).

All songs were recorded in Havana, Cuba, featuring an all-star lineup of Cuban musicians, including Barbarito Torres, Amadito Valdés, Virgilio Valdés, Frank Rubio, Tomas “El Panga” Ramos, Manuel “Guajiro” Mirabal, Orlando “Cachaíto” López and vocalist Coco Freeman with arrangements by Demetrio Mũniz.

The critically acclaimed original album has reached the top of the charts in many countries and achieved multiple gold and platinum sales certifications worldwide. Coldplay, Sting and U2 all agreed to re-join the project in 2024 as raising awareness of climate change and providing funds for natural disaster relief is more important than ever.

This EP is dedicated to the memory of APE founder and legendary songwriter Kenny Young, who created the project with Ron Oehl and the Berman Brothers. The project’s legacy will be continued by the addition of Kenny’s son, Joel Young.

“What was once called climate change has now become a global climate emergency,” said Herbert Girardet, trustee, APE. “As floods, fires and droughts wreak havoc across the world, we need a profound change of direction. APE supports climate campaigners and eco-activists. The proceeds from this album enable us to be even more effective.”
