Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has joined Beat for Peace, a movement calling for renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent violence in the African nation of Sudan.
Mason appears in a video of drummers (below) across the globe lending their support to the cause.
Stewart Copeland (The Police), Phil Selway (Radiohead), Jonny Quinn (Snow Patrol) and many others also appear in the video.
The civil war between North and South Sudan was Africa’s longest-running civil war, killing more than 2 million people. With violence on the increase in southern Sudan, activists are trying to prevent the return of mass human rights violations to that area.
More information about Sudan and Beat for Peace is available at the Beat for Peace Web site.

Prog-jazz trio The Bad Plus has included a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” on the group’s album “For All I Care.”
The recording includes Minneapolis alt-rock vocalist Wendy Lewis (The Plus).
The album also includes covers of other classic cuts by Yes (“Long Distance Runaround”), the Bee Gees (“How Deep Is Your Love”) and Heart (“Barracuda”).
“For All I Care” was released 11 months ago, Feb. 3, 2009 — but if you’re like us, it’s new to you.
