Playing for Change is a YouTube phenomenon (see below), a nonprofit raising funds to build music schools throughout the world, and a crack live band mixing classic American soul with salsa, South African township jive and more.

Grammy-winning producer/engineer/filmmaker Mark Johnson founded Playing for Change on the simple idea that the world can be connected through music.
