This review is from: Playing For Change: Peace Through Music (DVD)
I saw this program on PBS. I woke up in the middle of the night and it was on. If you are a lover of music of all kinds, you will absolutely love this DVD. These men actually traveled around the complete world in a year and recorded and dubbed etc. Not only that, they had to meet these musicians and regular people and adapt to their beliefs and cultures in order to gain their confidence so that they would be accepted and allowed to tape the different talents of singing and playing all types of instruments. Very well done and I applaud them!!! Buy this DVD; it will be one of the best investments ever. Also, a plus for the whole family to watch together!!

Another "Wow",
By Warren L. Johnson "Mr.J." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Playing For Change: Peace Through Music (DVD)
Peace Through Music explains why and how the "Playing for Change" DVD and CD came about. It has interviews with some of the musicians who explain the importance of music as a unifying force for good. I especially enjoy the Indian drum group from New Mexico and the Irish Protestant/Catholic youth choir and the Israeli/Palestinian musicians and the musicians from Africa and Spain. When I start listing them, I realize I enjoy them all. I have watched this longer DVD twice through and my favorite groups several times more. If I were still working in middle school as the library/media guy, I would find a way to add this to our collection in the library and show snippets of it on our televised morning news program so students could see musicians from around the world creating music together and listen to their thoughts about the importance of music.

We're all hoping for change,

This review is from: Playing For Change: Peace Through Music (DVD)
Playing for Change is the best concept in music yet. The album (especially the DVD version) captures the essence of what the whole "Playing for Change" movement is all about -- fostering world peace through music. The performers, all joining in a series of overdubs of the same songs, show that musical harmony can bring about cross-cultural harmony, and Grandpa Elliot epitomizes the powerful change music can provide in a single life. While he was a street performer,he was picked up by the producer and included as a featured performer in the band. The production in this album is really smooth and the selection of music is right on target. Get this album and support this worthwhile cause that has already built a school of music in one of the African villages that appear in the album.
