what is the music on the cartoon trailer add for the olympics.thanks

I think it is a piece (maybe composed specifically for it?) by the guys behind Gorillaz ie Damon Albarn etc..
It might be called "Monkeys journey to the West" or something similar.
If you google him and/or Monkey you might get more accurate info.
Sorry if this is a bit vague!
