Music Connects the World

Drumming for Peace is based on a philosophy of peacemaking and a belief that music and rhythm can bring people together. These videos, produced by Playing for Change demonstrate how music can be an "instrument" of peace that connects people around the world. This is a project based on the idea that music can bring the world together. It all began in Santa Monica, California with a street musician and went around the world adding street artists, singers, and musicians. Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race.
