Back To Your Roots (Live) | Playing For Change Band

[GHHPoobah]

Louis is the most amazing guitar player I've seen in a long time. His touch, his finesse, his ability to make the guitar emit such beautiful sound is breathtaking. A true master.

[ZomgTurtlecoon]

finally one good video on youtube that doesnt have "X number of people are -blank-"

[seonfox]

All these people are amazing.. Mermans is incredible.. Grateful for this music

[dhiiga]

fuck yeaaaaaah....this is what we suppose to listen on radio

[datheater22]

The africa-american people see so meany negative images about africa that they hate it but there is more to africa than what you see on tv

[ZomgTurtlecoon]

@datheater22 sorry but most black people (i say black people cuz all people are the same and that shouldnt be offensive) are the kind of people who grew up with rap, violence, drugs, alcohol, sex, and other earth based stuff. i know a lot of white and spanish people did too and i feel the same way about them, but if you cut them out and leave only the civilized people are there really that many that say its terrible instead of trying to help?

[VITALEC13]

[Bolero08]

My name is Andres Zoran Ivanovic, AGT (Andres"s Musical Therapy founder.) This song and many other, special Chanda mama have great abitlies to healing people even on long way distances. You people are doing great things for mankind at all. Bad that not so many recognized musical healing code in your songs. I recommending concert in Iceland than spread out to the world those codes in your songs. Perfect location is world energetic zone (chakra) in west Iceland. Do it together do it now.

[rm641]

@Bolero08 Andres I totally agree with you...I am long way distant from Brazil and miss my family..Did you hear the song Nda(playing for Change) it is so beautiful, remends me when I left Brazil 1990, and my mother said the same words. I love this songs...Peace

[Bolero08]

Andres

[rm641]

[zioband]

CREATIVITY.. aLIVE

[TheKingAwesome]

0 dislikes... Exactly what this video deserves. This is too touching and heart-warming to hate!

[lhirty]

ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhh

JUST THE BEST

[MaartjeHuizingh]

^_^ Love them!!! Still... they are not as famous in the Netherlands as in America! ....They should! ^^

[demofactory]

Now that these people are famous, they all play expensive new instruments. I still like them, but I think I prefer the music when it was played in living rooms and on street corners. It was recorded then, but not so processed. It doesn't feel the same now. I guess they "PLAYED FOR CHANGE". Peace all !!!!

[chinesewopstaart]

great

[nbelkind]

unreal feel to this song... fantastic!

[gerrybaggins]

when I feel good, Ilisten to PlayingForChange to party alone in my flat ........

[abbythesuperfreak]

where can i get the CD?

[123kirby]

i like it

[tokeabow]

This is my best guess at what the lyrics are

i-and-i we see you got to get back to your roots, then you'll find a way to burn out babylon from africa for good

They're fighting and fighting has brought us suffering and sadness, anger has fooled us into killing one another, AFRICA where's your humanity? ooo everyone go back to your roots

Chorus

I can see you thinks of war , more fire right now. woah-no, anybody that control of africa fighting for your ?? and gold

chorus

(singing in ngala)

[pantheongaia]

@tokeabow Thanks for posting ^.^

[tokeabow]

@pantheongaia

NP, not sure if they''re right though :)

[gerrybaggins]

what is coming out of this video is the pleasure they have to play music together. music without pleasure is like a garden without water, nothing can grow. and this garden is full of flowers. big up to this artists who lift up our hearts!

[tokeabow]

can anybody post the lyrics for me?

[gerrybaggins]

@tokeabow still looking for it on the web ( as for me like for you lyrics are important to me) but it can be a creation. and I'm not fluant enough in english to be sure to get the lyrics right enough to pretend to post it on a video.... sorry! ;)
