This is (ahem) a little shy of mandolin content, but too awesome not to share. Sorry if this duplicates a previous thread.

The organization is called "Playing for Change"

This video was done by 5 sound engineers who went around the world recording people doing the same song. They then blended it all together into one amazing song and video.

If only they had found some mando-buskers...

Dude, that has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Long live the power of music!

Wow. That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Just about brought tears to my eyes.

Yeah, found that video a while ago and sent links to lots of folks. It's great music and effectively delivers a nice message.

Woah, Mr. Nollij,
Great vid showing the power of music bringing people around the world together.

(kinda trumps those Coke commercials, eh?) Thanks for sharing it.

Gives you goose bumps...

We saw this months ago and was just blown away by it. Maybe we should consider doing the same thing with a mandolin and vocal...something thoughtful, soulful and melodic...any idea's of a song? My suggestion would be: Amazing Grace...
