Playing For Change - Songs Around the World (CD / DVD)

Giving voice to an extraordinary effort to inspire peace through music and to connect diverse musicians worldwide, including those in conflict regions, comes Playing For Change – Songs Around the World.
The special CD/DVD package contains a ten-song audio CD as well as a seven-track DVD, which features five of the songs performed live. The DVD also includes a trailer for the forthcoming Playing For Change (PFC) documentary and information on the PFC Foundation.
Grammy winning producer/engineer Mark Johnson and his Playing For Change team traveled for a decade with a single minded passion to connect the world though music. Their ambitious journey took them from America to post-apartheid South Africa, through the ancient sites of the Middle East, to the remote beauty of the Himalayas and Europe.
Using innovative mobile technology, the PFC crew filmed and recorded more than 100 musicians, largely outdoors, in parks, plazas and promenades, in doorways, on cobblestone streets and amid hilly pueblos. Each captured performance created a new mix in which essentially the artists are all performing together, albeit hundreds or thousands of miles apart.
