A handful of prominent African musicians-- Vieux Farka Touré, Les Nubians, Angélique Kidjo, and others-- have joined together to put new spins on some U2 classics for In the Name of Love: Africa Celebrates U2.

Aerosmith's Joe Perry joins Sierra Leone's Refugee All-Stars on "Desire", while former Fela Kuti musical director (and Damon Albarn's the Good, the Bad & the Queen bandmate) Tony Allen serves up an "Afrobeat translation" of "Where the Streets Have No Name".

The disc emerges April 1 from Shout! Factory, and a portion of the proceeds from each sale go to The Global Fund, "the world's largest international financier of the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria."
