Listen to the music is one of my favorites. It exemplifies what music is, music is to produce emotions

"Playing for Change" has been around since 2002. The organization was created connect the world through music and part of what they do is build music schools around the world. They produce terrific videos with some amazingly talented artists. Lots of their videos are on YouTube. This was a good selection here. Taj Mahal is awesome.

Yup. Ripple is a great video too. How can you miss with Jimmy Buffett, David Crosby, etc?

That thread with Ringo playing on Lukather's video brought this one to mind--the Playing for Change version of The Weight in the first post here. It is so good . . .

Had to bump it.

"Playing for Change" is simply AMAZING!!!
Don't know how I missed it for years but after a friend of mine pointed me to them I'm addicted and became a supporter.
The musicians are wonderful, the song selecetion is great, sound engineering is fantastic, the pictures could replace a holidays and the message is nice.
That's what I call a great package.

Don't miss the life concerts on YouTube, especially the one from Brasil.
