Playing for Change was the brainchild of Mark Johnson - who was recently featured as "person of the week" on ABC news. He united musicians around the world to form one global chorus for peace. Mark founded the Playing for Change foundation which funds music schools throughout the world. The Foundation has opened its first school, the Ntonga Music School, in Gugulethu, South Africa. The school will provide children with valuable skills and mentorship designed to instill self-esteem and confidence. Checkout playingforchange.com for more info. The CD is available at amazon.com, Starbucks, and at Playing For Change.
