A treat for your Saturday morning in todays random tune - a veritable cornucopia of world musicians playing a fantastic cover of The Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter! Playing for Change is project to connect the world through music. Created by American producer and sound engineer Mark Johnson, the project records musicians around the world playing one element of each of the songs they record. They then build, layer by layer, the song by melding the recorded parts, each with the individual interpretations of the musicians involved. They have since developed the Playing for Change Band which tours, and they have built the Playing for Change Foundation, which funds the construction of music and art schools around the world. In this video, youll see the contributions of a variety of musicians recorded in their countries including: Greg Ellis (United States) Venkat (India) Roberto Luti (Italy) Washboard Chaz (United States) Roselyn Williams (Jamaica) A.S. Ram (India) Sidney Santos (Brazil) Tamika McClellan (United States) Mamady Ba Camara (Mali) Massamba Diop (Senegal) Sherieta Lewis (Jamaica) Courtney Bam Diedrick (Jamaica) Sean Pow Diedrick (Jamaica) Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars (Sierra Leone) Seenu M.
