CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Bill Moyers called it a remarkable example of "the simple yet transformative power of music... to touch something in each of us." Variety acknowledged it as "a great showcase for just what incredible, thoroughly accessible popular music is being made worldwide. Utilizing innovative mobile audio/video techniques, Playing for Change (PFC) records musicians outdoors in cities and townships worldwide. They've travelled from post-Katrina New Orleans to post-apartheid South Africa, from the remote beauty of the Himalayas to the religious diversity of Jerusalem. Their talents are captured in myriad environments: under the sun and beneath the streetlights... in public parks, plazas and promenades... in doorways, on cobblestone streets, amid hilly pueblos. Their performances are subsequently combined in allowing them to collaborate - albeit separated by hundreds, or even thousands, of miles. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsIncredible ---- J. M. Donabie | Scarborough, Ontario Canada | 04/29/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have watched thousands of videos in my life; being in the music business; but I don't believe I have ever been so moved. This CD/DVD is a must buy. The concept from the filmmakers is both original and brilliant. Adding tracks and overdubbing them into one song took a lot of hard work and it was seamless. Do yourself a favor and buy this CD/DVD. You will not be disappointed. Stand By Me will never sound the same by anyone else again." Finally we come together Forrest Williams | Albuquerque, NM | 04/28/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first became aware of Playing for Change when a friend sent "Stand By Me" the video to me in an email. I was moved from the very first note. Bringing the people of the world together is the key to finding World Peace and I applaud these musicians for taking the first step. Music is the international language and they have done a superb job with the songs on this album. You can not help but be moved to tears on "Stand By Me", Biko and the rest of the music will find a place in your soul and you will feel what it is to be one with the music, and through the music, one with the world. Please Playing for Change, give us more!" Playing For Change: Songs Around The World Lucy B. Martinez | Lakewood, Ohio United States | 04/28/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first learned of Playing For Change when the originator of this brilliant concept was interviewed on Bill Moyers' program several months ago. Two of the songs on this CD were played at that time and I was in love! Now the CD + DVD have been released. I've been able to hear and watch several of the other recorded tracks and been moved and inspired by each. It's a technological marvel with musicians from around the world blending their voices and instruments without ever being together. I have never been more moved or inspired! The musicians, from street players to some who seem to have been classically trained, blend in perfect harmonies and allow me to believe that it is possible that all people could do the same; if we just get together we can feel all right! But if that concept doesn't interest you, just listen for the wonderful music. Peace."
