"Playing For Change" geht in die zweite Runde. Der Filmemacher und Produzent Mark Johnson hat sich erneut auf die Reise begeben und mit Straßenmusikern aus den unterschiedlichsten Teilen der Erde einen Mix aus verschiedenen Kulturen und Rhytmen geschaffen. Neben Songs, die nur für das Album geschrieben wurden, befinden sich auch einmalige Interpretationen von weltweit bekannten Hits auf dem Album, darunter Bob Marley's "Redemption Song", Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" und John Lennon's "Imagine". Das Set besteht aus einer CD und einer DVD, welche die Umsetztung des Projektes visuell erfasst.
Mark Johnson sagte einst: "Musik zu spielen, mit Menschen aus verschiedenen Kulturen, Religionen, Wirtschaftsformen und Politiksystemen, ist ein machtvolles Statement. Denn es zeigt, dass wir Wege finden können, um zusammenzuarbeiten und unsere Erfahrungen auf positive Weise miteinander zu teilen. Musik hat die Kraft, Barrieren zwischen den Kulturen zu durchbrechen und das Verständnis der Menschen untereinander wachsen zu lassen."
"Songs Around The World Part 2"- ein weiteres musikalisches Werk mit Kraft und Botschaft!
By filming and recording dozens of musicians from around the world, filmmaker, producer and PFC founder, Mark Johnson captures stunning musical collaborations that seamlessly blend diverse styles of music into powerful performances, expanding on the journey that made Playing For Change one of 2009's most unusual cultural phenomenons. The 2-disc CD/DVD package is a global mix of cultures and rhythms featuring original songs written for the album, as well as reinterpretations of internationally loved recordings including Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and John Lennon's "Imagine."
Playing For Change caught the public's awareness in 2009 when their version of the song "Stand By Me" accumulated over 30 million views on YouTube. Johnson and his crew mixed the performances of 18 street musicians, a South African Choir and a Native American drum group into a clip that went viral on the Internet after Johnson appeared on PBS' Bill Moyers' Journal. "Stand by Me" laid the foundation for the best selling CD/DVD set Playing For Change: Songs Around The World, which debuted at #10 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart in April of 2009.
The true measure of any movement is what it gives back to the people. The Playing For Change Foundation embodies this and works toward building, maintaining and connecting music schools across the globe. The Foundation's first project, the Ntonga Music School in South Africa, opened in 2009. In addition, The Foundation has opened three music schools in Nepal as well as schools in Ghana, Mali and Rwanda, with more in the planning stages. To create links between the schools, Playing For Change is working with engineers from NASA. They want to offer third world countries the ability to connect with the outside world through the Internet.
"Songs Around The World, Part 2 is a continuation and evolution of our desire to present music to inspire the world," Johnson says. "The journey of this album takes us from a village in Mali to the favelas (slums) of Brazil, from New Orleans to India, Jamaica to Japan. We stopped in 15 countries and recorded more than 150 musicians. The quality of our technology has improved. It sounds and looks better."
The music on Songs Part 2 is truly global, a dizzying mix of styles, cultures and rhythms. Baaba Maal's arrangement of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" has an African groove that's complimented by rhythms from eight Brazilian percussionists, Keb' Mo's Delta blues guitar, trap drummer Courtney "Bam" Diedrick's reggae backbeat and D. Chandrajit's tabla. Tinariwen, a band of musicians from the deserts of Northern Mali, play a kind of music that incorporates American blues, African rhythms and Tuareg folk music. They provide the driving pulse for Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and their own "Groove in G," an improvisation that features Ag Alhabib's electric guitar, Hiromitsu Agatsuma's shamisen and a dozen Indian, African, Jamaican and Brazilian drummers and percussionists as well as subtle improvisations from sitar, veena and sarod players.
