Peter Gabriel's Real World Records joined forces with the Mercury Phoenix Trust in 2001 to produce the album Spirit of Africa. The album was released on 15th October 2001 in conjunction with a television documentary of the same name produced and directed by Dominic Anciano and Iain Macdonald. The cream of African artists joined with the extraordinary TASO choir (all of whose members are HIV positive) to make this unique compilation album which will provide funds for the Mercury Phoenix Trust as well as further raising awareness about AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa.
