Mark Johnson's Foundation, Playing for Change, Funds Music Schools Across the Globe.
Filmmaker Mark Johnson had a simple idea -- that the world can be connected through music.
Johnson's dream began a decade ago in a New York City subway. He heard two monks playing music -- one had a nylon guitar and the other was singing. They were wearing robes and painted white from head to toe. About 200 people had stopped to watch them, ignoring the train as it came and went. Johnson realized he was standing in the midst of a group that normally wouldn't converge -- they were brought together by the music.
Along the way, Johnson founded Playing for Change, a foundation that seeks to unite musicians and bring people together while promoting peace. It funds music schools around the world -- the first just opened in South Africa........Rest Here
Visit Playing for Change for a number of video's of this group, and the songs, of talented musicians from around the World.
