My dad sent the link to this video and it was too good not to share. This group is doing a documentary traveling around the world recording the same song by different artists/cultures. I enjoyed watching this from beginning to end. As a musician, hearing the various styles applied to the same song is always neat, but then the realization of the vastness of the musical talent out there hit home. From the sidewalk musician to the jazz artist to Africa… music is universal.
Very cool, take a listen. I think I might go check out the other YouTube videos of different songs included in this same documentary, produced by Playing For Change Foundation. (I have not looked at this foundation’s website thoroughly. I’m just enjoying the music right now. :) )
