A collective of producers lead by Damon Albarn recently visited the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to produce a new album for Oxfam. T-E-E-D (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs), Dan The Automator, Jneiro Jarel, Richard Russell, Actress, Marc Antoine, Alwest, Rodaidh McDonald and Kwes all made the trip with the plan - to make an album in 7 days.

Wracked by years of conflict, the DRC is home to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and proceeds from the album will go to helping Oxfam's work, helping thousands of the DRC's poorest people.

Congo Coltan Phone Battery Charging Stalls; “I believe these are recharging stations for people who have a mobile phone, but do not have any power at their residence, or perhaps have no residence. The British Ambassador and others, are trying to get mobile phone masts installed in rural areas so that people can communicate about militia activity; to report crime or warn neighbours of impending forces.The cost to install and maintain, as well as protect from sabotage, is likely more pricey than it is worth for the mobile phone companies.Seems with the profits they get from a country like this, they could be a little more generous with their profit considerations” -Hardy.Power for the People.Nuff Said.
