1 - Dreams of Kirina 

In the Village of Kirina, Mali. Kirina is a village of musicians, in this very special episode West African music legend Baaba Maal and friends 

2 - Los Sabores del Porro

We traveled throughout the villages and cities of Colombia and along the way we were introduced to some of the best musicians in the country.

3 - La Tierra Del Olvido 

This video features over 75 musicians across the country of Colombia. Throughout our journey we have learned that music is the greatest tool for healing broken countries, cultures and hearts. With this video we set our to unite and inspire the people of Colombia so they can move forward from years of conflict and create a positive future.

4 - Mexico Lindo y Querido

We are proud to share a new song/video titled "Mexico Lindo," that unites musicians across Mexico and demonstrates the beauty of this great country. 

5 - United 

By the end of 2011 the world will have reached 7 billion people. The United Nations Population Fund is leading an innovative global campaign to bring awareness to the opportunities and challenges that this milestone presents. But 7 Billion people means 7 Billion hearts. Music has always been the best way to speak to the hearts of the people.

6 - Mellow Mood

This video features Mermans Mosengo and Jason Tamba performing Bob Marley's "Mellow Mood." It was filmed live outside while taking a break from recording their new Afro Fiesta Studio Album (Coming Soon!!). Enjoy the music and like Bob Marley says, "Open your heart and let love come running in..."

7 - Feliz Navidad

This holiday video was recorded live in Brazil, and is dedicated to each and every one of you. Let's celebrate our time together on this earth and work towards creating a better future for everyone.

8 - What a Wonderful World

Playing For Change is proud to present a new video of the song "What A Wonderful World" featuring Grandpa Elliott with children's choirs across the globe. In these hard times children and music bring us hope for a better future. Today we celebrate life and change the world one heart and one song at a time!!

9 - Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

Today our heroes and soul brothers, Roger Ridley and Grandpa Elliott, return for a new song around the world, "Sitting on the dock of the bay", featured on our new PFC 2 album. I once asked Roger why with such a powerful voice like his he was singing on the streets, he replied, "I am in the joy business, I come out here to be with the people".

10 - Imagine

In the beginning of 2010 the Playing For Change crew began work on a new Song Around the World, John Lennon's "Imagine." It has been an amazing year of production, taking the crew from the favelas of Brazil to the shrines of southern India, from villages in Nepal to the glittering urban landscape of Tokyo and New York, and beyond.

11 - Redemption Song

This video is a version of "Redemption Song" performed around the world in honor of Bob Marley's birthday. We have reunited Bob with his son Stephen and the support of the entire planet. In this song there is a felling of rising above the past and moving forward with love in our hearts and hope in our eyes. 

12 - Gimme Shelter

"Gimme Shelter" is a track we have wanted to record for years and today we can finally share it with all of you. This song expresses the urgency we all face to unite together as a planet and offers us wisdom with the words, "War, children, it's just a shot away... Love, sister, it's just a kiss away".

13 - Three Little Birds

Songs Around The World, coming May 31st! We begin the journey in West Africa, the ancient village of Kirina, Mali. Three instruments start to play and we hear the familiar words "don't worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright." This timeless message invites us on a musical journey through time and space. Together we continue to connect the world through music.

13 - Higher Ground

"Higher Ground" is a song that speaks of the perseverance it takes to reach the higher consciousness. Let's all keep trying together, one heart and one song at a time, until we all reach the Higher Ground

14 - Groove In G

We started this track in West Africa with a musical group named Tinariwen. We asked them to play a groove in the key of G, then as we traveled the world we added more musicians to the song. Over the course of our travels it transformed into a global jam with its roots in the blues.

15 - Nda

We recorded this original song in a small studio in Cape Town, South Africa. Mermans Kenkosenki harmonized with Jason Tamba to give the song a beautifully rich feeling. And PFC Band anchor Louis Mhlanga tied the whole track together with a light and effortless guitar that made this track one of our all time favorites. We hope you enjoy it!

16 - Back To Your Roots (Live)

This song features verses by Titi Tsira, Mermans Kenkosenki, and Jason Tamba (who sings in Ngala!), plus a guitar solo by Louis Mhlanga that dares you to blink!
