A link was sent to me in FaceBook on the weekend. I watched the video & then promptly spent another 3 hours (still in my dressing gown - *gasp*) finding out more!
This is awesome! The second in the "Playing for Change" Documentary is such a wonderful concept & who can resist the lure of Music, especially a classic like "Stand by Me" (my parents have a lot to answer for in the fact that I could instantly recall that Ben E. King first put this track out!!!). I wish I had seen the first!
Of course there is so very much more than the video above. "Playing for Change" have 6 video's up on You Tube - 4 of the songs that are on the CD/DVD that is to be released next month,including Bob Marley's "One Love".
There are also video's of building a music school in Guguletu, South Africa. All are worth watching...you can't help but be caught up in the feel of it.
There is a website that explains what the Playing For Change Foundation are doing. It has bio's on the artists involved & makes an interesting read when you think of how truly diverse & spread across the world these musicians are.
Personally I can't wait until the CD/DVD is released on the 28th April - but I guess I'm going to have to!
In the meantime there are a couple of reviews here at Cinema Without Borders & another at Variety.
It kind of reminds me how good it felt to support the original version of Bob Geldofs, Band Aid & "Do They Know it's Christmas?" back in 1984.
