“Playing For Change: Peace Through Music”.

One thing that appears to connect people from all around the globe is music...as proven by this award-winning documentary, “Playing For Change: Peace Through Music”.

Apparently, it all started with a couple of microphones and headphones.

In this video, a street musician called Roger Ridley from Santa Monica , California , sings the classic ‘Stand By Me’ with guitar.

It then moves on to New Orleans, Louisiana with Grandpa Elliot, a blind singer, adding vocals and harmonica while listening to Ridley’s track on headphones. And it snowballs from there… Amazing!

Street musicians band together from across Europe, Africa and South America to send out a message of peace and love to the world.

Here's the video...

My cousin posted this several months ago on her facebook and it was amazing. Very inspirational.
