This video was recorded during the construction of the Playing For Change Foundation‘s music school in the Village of Kirina, Mali. Kirina is a village of musicians, some of whom can trace their musical ancestry back over 75 generations! In this very special episode, West African music legend Baaba Maal and friends perform for the village elders in honor of the new “Playing For Life” music school.
An abridged version of the feature length documentary film, Playing For Change: Peace Through Music, is going to be broadcast on PBS stations across the United States in the month of August!
