Adele, Lenny Kravitz, Sting, Miley Cyrus e altri. Ascolta gratis più di settanta cover di Bob Dylan per Amnesty International

Quattro dischi, più di settanta canzoni, oltre ottanta artisti (l’ultimo è l’unico, inimitabile autore dei brani): “Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International” è una raccolta di cover che una delle più importanti associazioni umanitarie al mondo ha deciso di assemblare per celebrare i suoi cinquant’anni di attività.

Ha scelto un musicista-simbolo, un cantautore che ha saputo unire impegno sociale e poesia, protesta e sensibilità nei confronti del mondo in cui viviamo, che iniziava ad accelerare la corsa del progresso lasciando troppo spesso indietro quella per i diritti umani. Adele, Lenny Kravitz, Sting, Miley Cyrus, My Chemical Romance… impossibile elencare tutti gli artisti coinvolti nel reinterpretare le canzoni di Bob Dylan.

Dopo il salto trovate la tracklist completa. Per ascoltare l’intero progetto invece, basta un click sulla pagina facebook di Amnesty International USA. Poi ricordate che il prossimo 24 gennaio 2012, con un gesto altrettanto semplice potrete acquistare la compilation a questo indirizzo al prezzo di 19,99 dollari in formato digitale e di 24,99 dollari in formato CD, aiutando chi si occupa di garantire e proteggere i diritti umani nel mondo.
