  • Jack Johnson and dozens of artists joined more than 1,000 Hawai’i keiki (children) in this beautiful medley. Weʻre excited to present our 2nd ʻSong Across Hawaiʻiʻ collaboration with Hawaiian nonprofit @Mana Maoli, filmed across many breathtaking Hawaii locations as part of their #ManaMele project, which features a Music & Multimedia Academy and Solar Mobile Studio with programs in more than a dozen schools.
    Turn it up and let the music bring in the light! To learn more about this medley and Mana Mele, follow Mana Maoli on FB & IG, and visit manamele.org, where you can get a personal copy of this video for a donation of any amount.
    Playing For Change is a movement 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. Our primary focus is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos we call Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated us to form the Playing For Change Band-a tangible, traveling representation of our mission, featuring musicians met along our journey, and establish the Playing For Change Foundation-a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, we aim to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

    I am 67. I was blessed to live in Hawai'i from 1967 to 1971. My dad was the youth director at Hickam AFB. This video brought me to tears. The 3 years I lived in Hawai'i were happiest part of my childhood and youth. I learned so much in Hawai'i. It took me about 20 years to forgive my dad for bidding on a job that took us away from Hawai'i. Beautiful people. The most culturally diverse place I have ever lived. It is beautiful to see that Hawai'ian culture being celebrated and preserved. Mahalo from HaoleBoy56.

    As beautiful as the islands are, it is the people who live there that make this place so memorable and wonderful.

    I have been to 6 continents and over 70 countries. I have lived in Europe, North America and in the middle east. I was lucky enough to live in Hawaii for 4 years, simply the best years of my life. Lots of love to my Hawaiian ohana. Mahalo

    This song touches the deepest reaches of my soul! Good job folks!! Solid!! I'm trying to teach our kids our lineage. We have in Hawaii. Our culture is important to us. I cry when I think about what has been lost. Everytime I look at our cities here in Hawaii and how much damage it has done to our families, it breaks my heart. Awareness is one step forward!
