| PLAYING FOR CHANGEFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Playing for Change is a multimedia music project created by producers Mark Johnson and Enzo Buono with their Timeless Media Group, that seeks to bring together musicians from around the world. Playing For Change also created a separate non-profit organization called the Playing For Change Foundation which builds music schools for children around the world. OriginThe project started in 2004 with the organization's self described goal to "inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music". The creators of the project, Mark Johnson and Enzo Buono, traveled around the world to places such as New Orleans, Barcelona, South Africa, India, Nepal, the Middle East and Ireland, and, using a mobile recording studio, had local musicians perform the same song, interpreted into their own style. The project's first single "Stand by Me", began with a Santa Monica street performer named Roger Ridley (now deceased). They then traveled around the world and had more musicians add their versions, which were mixed together for the final version.[1] Among the artists participating, or openly involved in the project, include Vusi Mahlasela, Louis Mhlanga, Clarence Bekker, Tal Ben Ari (Tula), Bono, Keb' Mo', Grandpa Elliott, Manu Chao. SuccessThe project's "Stand by Me" video has been tremendously popular online, with over 13 million hits on YouTube. CD/DVD setA CD/DVD compilation Playing For Change: Songs Around The World was released in 2009 on the Concord Music Group label. The CD has ten songs. The DVD has seven tracks, including video versions of five of the songs that appeared on the CD, plus a documentary film, The Playing for Change Foundation, Peace Through Music.
