    Thanks for checking out my request 😊. I thought you’d enjoy it. And I wanted to bring some attention to the Playing for Change RUclips channel. It’s not just a channel for great music, it’s a movement to unify people through music. They’ve got some fantastic videos, but their Song Around the World videos are magical. ❤❤❤

From some songs all would recognize in western culture some songs from different cultures they do like Chan Chan and Chandra Mama are just 2 of my fav's. Again you'll see more artist's from around the world Chan Chan is a definite groove speaking of groove try their version of Groove in G ....mind blown!

    Hey Polo ~ You CANNOT go wrong with any of the Playing For Change videos. They are all tremendous! Roberto Luti, the first guitarist on this track, plays on a lot of the Playing For Change videos. He's just a phenomenal guitarist! The variety of instruments from around the world and the way they blend them into each song is stunning. Look through their videos to see if they have songs you already know on it (they probably do!) and give those a reaction. =)

    I was street jamming in Lisbon Portugal a few years ago with a Japaneses guy and a guy from Brazil came along, then a Romanian gypsy, a French Manouche guitarist, a couple of female Portugese Fado singers and a Russian girl singing. A couple could speak English but most of the communication was done just by the jamming. You can't tell me that music doesn't bring people together.

    Clarence Bekker had a successful career in the Netherlands, but gave it up to go to play as a street artist, and he joined playing for a change.
    He’s phenomenal as street-artist. That’s how I learned about him, a video where he plays in Barcelona as street artist, and managed to made his performance into a sing-along with the public. He’s very good in engaging the public. And he’s a very good singer of course.

    Playing for change became globally viral many years ago with Stand by me ( Ben E. King cover) … needs checking out if only just to see the staggering amount of views this track has. Since then, the collective has produced a lot of great music, and more recently in collaboration with some of the creators of their covers (John Paul Jones, the Doobie Brothers, Santana, Ringo Starr and a whole lot more). If I were to recommend another delve into this world (aside from the above mentioned MUST) it would be When the Levee Breaks.
