Our country is an inspiration to the world and as we battle to overcome challenges we must believe in ourselves.

We do have serious problems to deal with. But cynicism and depression won’t help us to resolve them. Perhaps it is time to renew the faith that so many of us used to feel in ourselves and our country. Have faith in the South African dream!

People all over the world feel that our future is tied up with their own hopes for a better world. We have a real obligation to all those who struggled and still struggle, and to our children; to ensure that we build a decent society of which all of us can be proud.

From the award-winning documentary, “Playing For Change: Peace Through Music”, comes “Stand By Me”, the first of many Songs Around The World produced by Playing For Change. This Ben E. King classic features musicians around the world recorded by the Playing For Change team during their travels. This song continues to remind us that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people.

This CD/DVD set highlights the passion and talent of 185 musicians from 31 different countries including South Africa!
