“In 1986, the anarchist band
Chumbawamba released the album
Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records, as well as an EP entitled "We Are the World", jointly recorded with US band A State of Mind, both of which were intended as anti-capitalist critiques of the
Band Aid/
Live Aid phenomenon. They argued that the record was primarily a cosmetic
spectacle, designed to draw attention away from the real political causes of world hunger.”
