Playing For Change - Peace Through Music

I stumbled across this channel PlayingForChange somehow on YouTube a few days ago, and it is my absoloute favourite ever that I have found. (I have posted my three favourites so far - check them all out, love love love them ALL)

'Dont Worry'


It was an idea from a dude called Mark Johnson that thought we needed to come together as a human race, and it was through music that he thought was a good start. It started in the streets of Santa Monica in California 4years ago where he overheard a guy called Roger Ridley busking on the streets singing Stand by Me, from there Mark and his crew visited african villages, native indian reservations, subways, himalyan mountains recording musicans he found along the way. Mark said 'none of these musicans had ever met in person, it was the music that bought them together and the belief that we can do alot more for this world if we work together, than we ever could apart.

Through his recordings from all across the world, and filming these incredible amazing, beyond talented musicans that sing on the STREETS as buskers, who could sass more than half the musicians that are on our charts at the moment in a SECOND, we have these........just amazing, supa funky, absoloutely beautiful songs we can enjoy, from people across all cultures singing the same songs, i love it so much. I LOVE this.

'Chanda Mama'


Every person in these songs I think is just so so beautiful. Tula from Israel - SO so beautiful, Love her voice. Clarence from Netherlands, Grandpaa Elliot from Louisiana, Roger Ridley from California (where Playing for Change all started, with recording this guy - he's in the Stand by Me song, first singer, the MAN) and Sinamuva clan from South Africa - all just....yep, beautiful. (if you knew how sacred the words 'beautiful' and 'love' are too me and how rarely I use them...you'd get how much I ACTUALLY dig these people and their music. :) And the fact it's for a good cause is just the cherry on top :) Check them out.....links for the youtube channel and PlayingForChange website are at the bottom too... :)

(hey, they even made it to Dublin to record Bono, who is all for this kinda thang)
