Playing For Change is an organization that has been around for years. It started as a bunch of street musicians, "playing for change" and now it is a worldwide force creating international videos that show the power and universality of music
This video, featuring Peter Gabriel on vocals and Yo-Yo Ma on cello, was released in February as part of a fundraising effort to raise $50,000 for "Peace Through Music - A Global Event for Social Justice". The fundraiser runs through the end of April.
Way before COVID sent everyone scurrying to their h9ome studios, Playing For Change has been creating these compelling videos that really show the power of music, and how we a humans on this earth are all connected by this one universal language. More than 25 musicians from seven countries join Gabriel for this global rendition of a song he wrote 40 years ago! They join together to share a message of unity, peace, and hope, including Beninese vocalist and activist Angélique Kidjo, Silkroad’s Yo-Yo Ma, and bass legend Meshell Ndegeocello. Enjoy!
