- We released "Higher Ground" on our PFC 2 Songs Around The World album but decided to revamp it for our Peace Through Music event last year. For this 2020 version, we added r&b vocalist Aloe Blacc, world-renowned percussionist Sheila E., blues vocalist Shemekia Copeland, soul folk duo The War and Treaty, banjo greats Bela Fleck and Silkroad's Rhiannon Giddens, and pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph.
We must never stop trying to be better than we were yesterday and the day before. Join us along with more than 20 musicians from seven countries for this Stevie Wonder classic and let's reach our highest ground together.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band-a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation-a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting music programs for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

I’ve been fighting for civil rights and equal rights, a better world, since I began demonstrating for Mexican American issues at 14. I’m 70. The last administration and 2020/2021 broke my hope. I’ve been grieving for the dead going back decades. Just never stops. This helps a little.
My condolences, understood💔✌️✨
Never give up
When Sheila E first came in, I spontaneously laughed out loud with sheer happiness
❤🔥😁🔥❤
Omg! I just did too!!! So glad to see her
I had that same kind of "yeah!!!!" reaction.
yes! I laughed too.... so awesome to see her
Agree, agree, agree. Amen!
I'm a 50 plus Aussie bloke, considered to be 'grumpy! This was brilliant and uplifting'.... Couldnt stop smiling and toe tapping to that one!. Thankyou, more please......
Same here brother.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😁❤
No borders, no colors, no ideologies - when it's real, music conquers all of the imaginary boundaries we've been taught existed
How could..., and more importantly "WHY" would ANYBODY thumbs down this...., it brilliant and the world needs more of it.
The 'net, (& the world) is FULL of idiots sadly!
Cuz... They intercoursed in the head...
Those are the people who they are playing to change.
Agreed!
~ APRIL LIPKE
The words are spot on for the times we live in. Probably since Mr Stevie Wonderful wrote this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
One of my favorite things about these videos, is the opportunity to see and hear musical instruments I've never even known existed. Thanks for this music
... and great musicians you never knew existed as well. 👍🙏
When Sheila E. hits that first note ... I just smiled almost crying because you feel her happiness and rhythm kickin' alive!!!
It is so much fun to watch someone completely emerged in whatever they're doing and having fun.... fun...... fun!!!!
Did I mention how much fun she's having? 🙌👍😊🤗
She hits it so hard ❤
So much talent anywhere in the world. Music is universal.
Stevie Wonder would love this! Sheila E!! So good to see her!!
She came in like a hurricane on her drums.
I’m nearly positive he’s heard it...

@@lesliehirsch3730 I have no idea what that means.~April Lipke
I'm quite surprised that he didn't participate even to be added in after hearing this version. Peter Gabriel performed on the version of his song "BIKO" they put together.
Stevie Wonder would be absolutely enthralled with this performance here.
Oh heel yes he would. Damn!
He’s still alive? I am sure he will appreciate it.
He'll probably never see it
I'm sure he knows about it, and may I remind everybody that he's alive and kicking.
@@bawbsmith34 But, man he'll hear it.
I'd happily lose my sight if I could make music like this!
Thank you, Playing For Change and all of the brilliant musicians. Your music heals our souls.
Thank you for your music playing for a change I love you all I would love to sit in on one of your gigs
¡¡¡¡🌟👏🏿💞🎉💓🎉💞👏🏻🌟!!!!!
Thanks, y'all - from the depths of my old brokedown heart & soul. Every one of these musical heroes is a true HERO.
💚Stay strong, & JAM ON.💙
Amen. No one is going to bring me down! Beautiful rendition. Touching the world.
Rhiannon Giddens and Sheila E. playing the same tune. Unexpected yet wicked!
No doubt! Who would have thought it possible.
Rhiannon Giddens and Bela Fleck in the same song...i like it!
It's so good to see and listen to this musical chain all around the world. Fantastic performance from all of them!
Absotively Beuitious, couldn't agree more . . . Everyone's smiling and enjoying the opportunity to to spread the warmth . ! . Especially the lady on the drums, thanks ! ! !
@@toddhenderson8093 Sheila E is a great drummer and percussionist. She worked with Prince many times.

@@howardcarmola3005 Nah, the whole thing is in 4/4.
Everyone on this is amazing, but Sheila E absolutely drives the whole thing. Powerhouse playing and a joyful attitude. What’s not to like?
This is the kind of stuff that gives me hope for mankind ! 💜👍🙏
Exactly my thought!
Another great video! Sheila E. looks wonderful. So happy to see her and others from around the world 🌎 Music is universal.❤☮️✌️🕉️
I do wish they'd keep the name tags up longer, and even repeat them. There would probably be musicians in these that we'd like to hear more of. If we knew who they were.
Needs More Sheila E !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aloe Blacc's voice is fantastic!!
Donated.. I love you all and your mission. I share your channel when ever I can.
I think this is my favorite video from Playing For Change…
I love Stevie Wonder and his songs. Congratulations, this version is excellent! Thanks a lot to all of you :-)
WOW there's nothing more therapeutic than a good song. I feel much better now.
Sheila E! Made my day!!! 🌟🌟🌟
Loved the ending of the video. 🤣🤪👍🙌
Yes! An entrance so unbelievably kick ass & bad ass... I yelled "Whaaaaa?????" :D Made my night. May have blown my headphones, but made my night.
So much beauty in every culture, every shade of skin, every country, in every spirit. It hurts my heart that the world cannot get together as they have in these incredible music videos and create beautiful music and goodwill around the world. I am so weary. But these Play For Change videos make my sad heart happy for a little while.
Playing For Change is great - All of it!
Thanks to all the musicians around the planet.
I was able too see Stevie in the 70’s in the first row at the Cow Palace in SF💙
All of these fantastic music videos should be required viewing for all HS music class around the world.
Damn.. Sheila E still jammin and lookin fine!

And don't forget Rhiannon Giddons....a force of nature herself!
👀🥴😊🤷♀️🙏🌍🤗💞
this is music the rest nonsense
From everything I have heard I would like to meet this man.
So many performance clips of Shelia Escovedo feature her singing her Hits while standing behind a bare bones set up, it is really nice to see her behind a full Kit, anchoring this performance ... fantastic job by all involved ...
Our world CAN be a better place. Most likely through music !!!
Great work and beautiful music for the world peace, and enjoy the beauty of life and peace.
Sheila E !!!
Ladies of soul 2015 - Sheila E. Glamorous life and a love bizarre 🙋♀️ 🇨🇵
When I saw Sheila E I gasped with delight & knew this was going to be good, I was not disappointed.
Sheila E yessssssss!!! Tasteful playing as well as everyone else! What a joy see & hear.
When Aloe Blacc starts singing was cue to thumb this up!
Inspiring the best in all music , all people , all places and hopefully all of our hearts and minds. Peace and joy
Amen

Good Morning 01-05-21 ! 🌞🌞🌞🌹🌹🌹
I love that girl drummer, she is so cool
Check out older stuff by Prince. Then check out his drummer. Then watch the penny drop.
I love these type of videos showing different musicians from different parts of the world playing their traditional instruments and all singing the same song. Amazing and beautiful!
Fantastic mixing. But the musicians and variety of instruments remind me of the unifying power of song and music. Delighted to see Shiela E!
We're happy to hear that! If you want to see more BTS, check out these videos: www.playingforchange.com/shows/behind-the-song
This drummer was a badass!
WOW. Ok Sheila E. I see ya!👀
U Music...Awake...to Heir it Up...Now.. "Cause don't BE to Long"
I'm a simple man of culture, I see Rhiannon Giddens, I click.
Percussionists are fantastic, strings and double banjos, and the faces of the children and graceful dancers make this so perfectly amazing.
All these Playing For Change videos make cry out of pure joy... for real. The way the world should always be.
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK .I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.GOD BLESS YOU ALL🙏/.........,,,,.
Shield E locking it down!
Amazing as just Playing for change can do! And Sheila E is a woderful gift. Thank you!
Hello Sonja😊 how are you doing?
Rhythm gone crazy. Oh so special. What a bunch of talented people can do with genius.
I click LIKE on every PFC video I see because it is all pure joy. Especially, many people from all over the world
playing in unison for the pleasure of the world. If we all l played and listened to music there wouldn't be any time
to be unkind to the world.
Some many beautiful people form around the world
As a concert promoter, I love to listen and watch these fantastic musicians and great videos. Well done folks and hope to see you all one day united on tour in the world! Keep on doing the good things we all need: GOOD MUSIC!

Sheila!!!
Oh I love this song and Playing For Change!
Omgoodness I just watched this for the very first time and saw Sheila E's on drums!!! That's fantastic! I was thinking to myself today about the only two female drummers I myself have ever heard of are Sheila E and Karen Carpenter. Very sad on my part, I got research to do.
Nice ole Stevie should be proud
WOW! Well done everyone. So good to see Sheila E rocking it in this timeless gem.
My favorite of Stevie Wonder .
Great talent ~ GOD bless you all.
I agree. It was so good to see Ms. E
Awesome banjo playing by Rhiannon Giddens and Bela Fleck.
Listen to this over and over again. Till I reach the highest ground, no one's gonna keep me down! Oh Yeah!!
Oceanside!! Shemekia reppin' my town so well! So awesome to see Robert Randolph, too -- he is amazing, one of the coolest concerts I've been to. And awesome to see a tsugaru shamisen in this song, too, what a wonderful instrument that is.
Non c'è bisogno di parole basta ascoltare 👍
