Sugar Sweet | Grandpa Elliott | Playing For Change
|
bit.ly - Grandpa Elliott has been playing on the streets of New Orleans since he was six years old and it is time for his music and passion to meet the masses. Playing For Change recorded his album, Sugar Sweet, throughout the 2009 Playing For Change Band North American Tour. It all started one evening at a barbeque when he began tapping his foot, slapping his hand against his knee and singing, Your lips is so dog gone sweet to me, baby Im afraid, if you kissed the ocean it would turn to lemonade" I remember thinking we could not get to a studio fast enough!! I love this man with all my heart for his soul, sweet voice and power of conviction. He performs each song as if it was his last and puts every ounce of his giant heart into every note. Check out the album, support a great performer, and lets teach the world that some of the best music we have ever heard comes from the streets!!! From the people, for the people. One Love, Mark Johnson |

Nda | Playing For Change

www.playingforchange.com - We recorded this original song in a small studio in Cape Town, South Africa. Mermans Kenkosenki harmonized with Jason Tamba to give the song a beautifully rich feeling. And PFC Band anchor Louis Mhlanga tied the whole track together with a light and effortless guitar that made this track one of our all time favorites. We hope you enjoy it! |

Pemba Laka | Playing For Change
|
www.playingforchange.com - "Pemba Laka," featuring Hugo Soares is a historic, timeless rhyme that comes from Angola. It's celebrated throughout Africa and resonates around the globe. We recorded this uplifting, joyful song during one of our travels through Spain. We had just finished a magical shoot with a percussionist from Ghana named Malik, and were hanging out at our good friend—and location manager—Brian Heinens flat in Barcelona. At some point Clarence joined us, and introduced us to his friend Hugo Soares from Angola. In true PFC spirit, what began as an organic acoustic jam slowly transformed the atmosphere into a truly special experience. And so... we grabbed our cameras and recording equipment so we could share the experience with you. Clarence Bekker Bio: www.playingforchange.com See Clarence on tour this fall: www.playingforchange.com "Peace Through Music" documentary to be released Tuesday, October 13th: www.playingforchange.com |

God Bless America | Playing For Change | Grandpa Elliott
|
www.playingforchange.com - While the Playing For Change Band was in Los Angeles, Grandpa Elliott received a special invitation to perform at Dodger Stadium. To open the game, Grandpa played a soulful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner on his harmonica. And then during the seventh inning stretch, accompanied by Louis Mhlanga on the electric guitar, Grandpa gave this inspired performance of God Bless America. As a blind man, Grandpa is not always able to see the joy his music brings to people. This night however, as his last notes were still ringing in the stadium, the sound of tens of thousands of people's vigorous applause brought a jolly grin to this beautiful man's face. |
