    We are excited to share a new video from our Live Outside series featuring Rocky Dawuni, Mermans Mosengo and Jason Tamba performing "Rivers of Babylon." Originally written and recorded by the Jamaican reggae group, The Melodians, this song was later made popular by the group, Boney M. Enjoy this version filmed live in the desert at Joshua Tree and know that despite of all the darkness, there IS light. Let your hope and faith be stronger than your fear...

    Playing For Change (PFC) 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. 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 building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

    Reggae, Country, Rock, Folk, Bluegrass aaaand Gospel? How did you-all get that sound, huh? Bravo!!!
    This isn't a fusion, it's each and every genre distinctly there - and with only a guitar, banjo and vocals too!
    I can't get over this.

    So proud of all theses fabulous musicians from our continent. Imagine a world where musicians, not politicians, really got together everywhere and played for change. Maybe in time it would impact the way we view each other. Perhaps with less suspicion and unkindness. Lennon would be proud. So would be Ms. Makeba, Fela, and the other great ones.

    Music is a great weapon to overcome the poorly thought out attitudes of the unwary who claim to be human, seeing this song leads us to think differently that Jesus is our salvation.

    137 - Psalm 137 "By the banks of the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept..."
    On the banks of the rivers of Babylon,
    we sat and we cried,
    remembering Zion.
    To the willows of the country
    we had hung up our harps.
    There, our conquerors asked us for songs,
    and our oppressors of joy:
    Sing us some of the songs of Zion!
    How shall we sing the songs of the Lord
    in a foreign land?
    If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
    let my right forget me!
    Let my tongue stick to my palate,
    if I don't remember you,
    if i don't make jerusalem
    the main subject of my joy!
    Lord, remember the children of Edom,
    who, in the day of Jerusalem,
    said: Shave, shave
    to its foundations!
    Daughter of Babel, the devastated,
    happy who returns the favor to you,
    the harm you have done us!
    Happy who seizes your children,
    and crush them on the rock!

    Rivers of Babylon
    By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
    Yeah we wept, when we remembered Zion
    By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
    Yeah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
    When the wicked
    Carried us away in captivity
    Required from us a song
    Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
    When the wicked
    Carried us away in captivity
    Requiring of us a song
    Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
    Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
    Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
    Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
    Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight (...)
