Playing For Change

 
In the beginning of 2010, the Playing For Change crew began work on a new Song Around the World, John Lennon’s “Imagine.” It has been an amazing year of production, taking the crew from the favelas of Brazil to the shrines of southern India, from villages in Nepal to the glittering urban landscape of Tokyo and New York, and beyond.
This song is the Playing For Change Foundation’s gift to the world.
The Playing For Change Foundation feels honored to have the blessing and generous support of  Yoko Ono as music lovers around the world join together to launch the Power to the People campaign.
The campaign seeks to advance John Lennon’s vision of peace by engaging artists and audiences to contribute to music education programs worldwide.
Proceeds raised will help build music schools, support teachers and music programs, purchase instruments, and connect schools for cross-cultural learning and conflict resolution across borders.
Music IS the power: Power to the People.
