Live 8 Eden - Africa Calling
 

On Saturday, July 2, 2005, ten fantastic concerts took place around the world part of the campaign to Make Poverty History. Live 8 as it was dubbed was designed with the intention to bring attention to the meeting in Scotland of the G8.

One of these concerts organized by Peter Gabriel and held at the Eden Project in Cornwall, South West England; was called Africa Calling Live 8. It was produced in association with WOMAD and Live 8 Eden featured an exclusive lineup of some of Africa's finest musicians, performing in the spectacular setting of Eden Project.

Eden Project is one of the UK's top Landmark Millennium projects. It was created to tell the captivating story of man's correlation with plants. The Eden Project is a non-profit charitable scientific organization. The commitment and focus is to commune with the public through education, entertainment, and involvement. The main draw are it's biodomes.

Those lucky enough to have won one of the 4,200 tickets up for grabs in the Live 8 text message lottery enjoyed the acts emerging on the main stage. Others favored to gather in the Warm Temperate Biome for the 'unplugged' sessions. Some guests took the opportunity to explore Eden's grounds as the music filled the air and carried within the cavernous pit that is home to Eden huge greenhouses.

Spectacular performances from the African musicians and the crowd was seen dancing and laughing and singing in the sunlight which broke through an early mist over the former china clay pit. This wonderful event featured 18 acts from 14 countries including Dido, Youssou N'Dour, Peter Gabriel, Angelique Kidjo, Ayub Ogada, Daara J, Maryam Mursal, Modou Diouf & O Fogum, Salif Keita, Shikisha, Thomas Mapfumo & the Blacks Unified.
