Music knows no boundaries

We like the initiative Playing for change: Peace through Music.
Music is a universal language, there is music everywhere, there are no boundaries in music. Playing for change is a movement that unite the world through music. Music helps us to persevere through struggles and celebrate our differences which changes the world into a more peaceful place

This track was performed by musicians around the world adding their part to the song as it traveled the globe.
