Playing for Change is possibly the most eye-watering great thing happening in the world today.

OK. Hyperbole maybe. But damn they are damn good.

Playing For Change
Playing For Change Foundation
Our mission is simple:
to inspire and connect the world through music. We believe that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome the differences that divide us.

Our primary focus is to record, and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power through a variety of videos.
...
To date, we have produced nearly 400 videos, recorded over 1,400 musicians in 60+ countries, and touched the hearts of over 2 billion viewers through our music videos, performances, and school programs.
Where does my money go?
Profits are used for the creation of new recordings as well as supporting musicians and artisans around the world. A portion of our profits also helps support our non-profit partner, the Playing For Change Foundation.

What is the difference between PFC and PFC Foundation
Playing For Change (playingforchange.com) and the Playing For Change Foundation (playingforchange.org) are partner organizations and separate entities—one a Certified B Corp (Social Purpose Corporation), and the other, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Donating to the non-profit foundation helps provide music and arts education to students around the globe.

No, I'm with you. I've been binging on these and the music is magical.
