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.

Bin Huang (Toronto)
I stumbled upon "stand by me" online and it teared me up. I never heard a song that emotional, so i had to buy this album. Great buy.
Absolutely Wonderful!! November 2, 2009
T. Alder (Arlington, TX USA)
Wow. That really is all I can say at this point. The music they have compiled together on this CD is a wonderful, inspiring message to us all. It's amazing to hear all of the different sounds from around the world put together in such a beautiful way. Music really is the one universal language, something every person on this planet has in common. If you listen to music - in any form or fashion - this is a must-buy. You will be moved by the sheer power in the music.
Can't get enough! October 24, 2009
G. Sanders (Oregon)
My only negative thought about this CD/DVD combination is that there isn't MORE! We play it two to three times per day. I plan to get one for everyone on my gifting list. LOVE IT! Keep up the good work and give us MORE PLEASE.
