Sting and Peter Gabriel are among a number of artists who will contribute tracks to a special album to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Dalai Lama. Along with Kate Bush, Elbow and others, Sting and Gabriel will also contribute tracks to the Art of Peace Foundation’s Songs for Tibet II, a tribute album celebrating the Dalai Lama’s philosophy of peace, non-violence and compassion. Songs For Tibet II is currently available to pre-order on PledgeMusic in digital and physical forms, as well as part of bundles with 2008’s Songs for Tibet. For $100, fans can have their name placed in a special “Thank You” section of the Songs for Tibet II’s liner notes. Organizers tell Rolling Stone that the tracks will be a combination of unreleased versions of previously released songs or new recordings. Proceeds from the album will benefit initiatives designed to spread the teachings of the Dalai Lama, and promote and preserve the culture of Tibet. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com.
