Rolling Stones star Keith Richards has teamed up with blues guitarist/singer Keb' Mo' and reggae stars Mermans Mosengo and Sherieta Lewis to record a new Bob Marley tribute for an upcoming charity album.

The quartet joins a number of artists who contributed to the eight-minute jam of Richards' 1992 song Words of Wonder and Marley's Get Up, Stand Up for Playing for Change 3: Songs Around the World.

They all appear in a new video, which has been posted online, and features the performers playing and singing around the globe.

The new charity album also features tracks by Los Lobos, Toots and the Maytals frontman Toots Hibbert and Taj Mahal, and Sara Bareilles and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
