Mark Johnson, co-founder of <i>Playing For Change, </i>says “‘Clandestino’ is a song of the people and this video represents the hearts and spirits of all those in search of a better world.
<i>Thais Playing For Change</i> version began with an Oud master in Morocco and gypsies in Budapest and then we layered bass, percussion, strings and vocals from Manu Chao and friends until it formed into a Global Roots Reggae-Latin Jam around the world.”<br>
<br>
The <i>Playing For Change</i> movement began in 2005 creating the concept of the <i>
Songs Around The World</i> by uniting together musicians from many different countries and cultures to perform on the same track. Since then,
<i>Playing For Change</i> has released two CD/DVD sets and will be releasing <b>Playing For Change 3 “Songs Around The World</b>” on
</span><b><span lang="FR" style="color:black">June 17th, 2014</span></b><span lang="FR" style="color:black">.
</span><span style="color:black">The set will be available both digitally and physically at all major retailers and via
</span><b><span lang="SV" style="color:black">Starbucks</span></b><span style="color:black"> in North America, and includes performances from
<b>Keith Richards, Sara Bareilles, Andres Calamaro, Toots Hibbert from Toots & The Maytals, Los Lobos, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Keb Mo, and Taj Mahal</b> in addition to a song produced by
<b>Jackson Browne</b>.</span><span style="color:red"> </span><span style="color:black">As Keith Richards stated,
<i>"Playing For Change, That's the way music was meant to be.”</i><br>
<br>
Tying into the release of the album, the<i> </i>Playing For Change Band<i> </i>is getting ready to hit the road again, from the streets to the stage, to the hearts of the people. The band embarks on their 27-city “Peace Through Music Tour” that features 10
