What an irony... still okay

I've been to three West African countries. Nowhere did I hear any music that even remotely resembles U2's - that kind of rock is simply not something that anybody listens to there (I asked around, mentioning artists like U2 and Bjýrk. No one had even heard their names before). It is as absent as pork chops in Mecca. So who came up with the idea that "Africa celebrates U2"?
Probably this album will not appeal at all to most U2 fans, but some people who like world music might still like it.
