Playing For Change
Biko | Peter Gabriel | Playing For Change | Song Around The World
updated
Prince Diabaté brings, not only total mastery over his ancestral tradition, but a commitment to renew it through fresh ideas and exchanges with musicians from many cultures.
Mark’s Park is filmed in front of a live audience in PFC co-founder/producer Mark Johnson's backyard in Venice Beach, California. This series brings together the diverse group of people, who call Venice Beach home, in an effort to connect the world through music. A portion of the proceeds from Mark's Park will benefit the Playing For Change Foundation—an international nonprofit organization, operating 17 music programs in 13 countries, established to create positive change through music and arts education.
Join us from Mark's home to yours, and let the rhythmic feels of the kora connect you to the sounds of West Africa.

In the world, each day, dozens of people disappear for diverse causes related to armed conflicts, violence, natural disasters and on the migration route, among others. Some of their families have had no news of their missing loved ones for more than 20 years. Together, and through music, we would like to express our solidarity to those who are facing the profound and universal feeling of losing a loved one. The families of missing people will not stop searching, nor will we stop helping
them.
We would like to thank all of the amazing musicians for their contribution and sharing their enormous talent with this project.

Enjoy this intimate performance of “Lost & Lonesome,” the lead single from Nichols’ self-titled debut album, where he gives listeners, what he describes as, a “glimpse into the mind of that traveler looking for a friend and a place to call home;” inspired by his years traveling alone, looking for a place for his passions to fit in, even if temporarily. “Lost & Lonesome” is an ode to exploration and the creative ingenuity of isolation.
Carl “Buffalo” Nichols, who is also featured in “When The Levee Breaks” in our Peace Through Music: A Global Event for the Environment, is a soulful blues guitarist, songwriter and vocalist born in Houston, Texas and raised in Milwaukee’s predominantly Black North end. Since his earliest infatuations with guitar, Nichols has asked himself the same question: How can I bring the blues of the past into the future?
Let’s all welcome Buffalo Nichols to the PFC family and continue to follow his musical journey to transform the blues genre with his evocative storytelling and powerful vocals.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a Certified B Corp (Social Purpose Organization) created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting music programs for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet. To learn more, visit playingforchange.com
