Global superstar Manu Chao--and with some choice musicians from around the globe including Morocco, Havan, Budapest, Senegal and so on--have joined the ranks of Playing for Change, which has recently premiered their new video Clandestino
According to a Missing Piece press release, Mark Johnson, co-founder of Playing for Change remarks that Clandestino is "a song of the people and this video represents the hearts and spirits of all those in search of a better world."
"This Playing For Change 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," he continued.
PFC began in 2005, creating concepts of the Songs Around the World by bringing musicians from many different countries and cultures to play on the same tracks.
In addition to the latest vid, Change will be releasing Playing For Change 3: Songs Around The World on June 17th, 2014.
The set will be available both digitally and physically at all major retailers and via Starbucks in North America, and includes performances from Keith Richards, Sara Bareilles, Andres Calamaro, Toots Hibbert from Toots & The Maytals, Los Lobos, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Keb Mo, and Taj Mahal as well as a song produced by Jackson Browne.
So, without anymore jabbering, here's that video we were talking about.
