PLAYING FOR CHANGE


Maybe in response to a year where xenophobia and hatred of the 'dread immigrant' mixed up with ignorance as to what a refugee actually is or those seeking asylum let alone any understanding of the world that has created them, I felt the need to post some Playing For Change videos. Mostly the live recordings are shown simultaneously being played around the dust ball that is our planet and unites people of all countries and cultures joined together in music. They don't always get it right in my humble opinion but boy when they do!? They really cook, and here are some of my favourites from the last 12 months or so . . . . . .











with the master hisself, Toots Hibbert  . . . . . and TAJ MAHAL!

and perhaps my favourite above all with the wonderful Mermans Mosengo and Keb Mo (we love these guys!)
