Song Around The World: Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration”
New York, N.Y. — In a heartwarming tribute to Universal Children’s Day, the Playing For Change (PFC) movement has released a stirring new rendition of the classic hit “Celebration” by Kool and The Gang. This global project, titled “Song Around The World,” features children from every corner of the globe, united in song and spirit to inspire hope, joy, and positive change for the future.
A Global Anthem for Hope
“Celebration” has long been an anthem of joy and unity, and Playing For Change’s latest version amplifies that message by bringing together young voices from diverse backgrounds. The video, produced in partnership with Okaïdi children’s clothing stores, showcases children singing and playing instruments in their local communities, each contributing their unique cultural touch to the universal message of hope.
The release is part of Playing For Change’s ongoing mission to “inspire and connect the world through music.” By highlighting the voices of children, the project underscores the belief that music has the power to break down barriers, foster understanding, and pave the way for a brighter future.
The Power of Music to Unite
Playing For Change is renowned for its innovative “Song Around The World” videos, which blend performances from musicians across continents into seamless, uplifting collaborations. This latest project is no exception. The children’s joyful performances are interwoven with professional musicians, creating a tapestry of sound and emotion that transcends language and geography.
Mark Johnson, co-founder of Playing For Change, shared his excitement about the project:
“Children are our hope for the future. By giving them a platform to share their voices and dreams, we are planting seeds of peace and understanding that will benefit generations to come.”
