Valerie | Clarence Bekker | Playing For Change

Sending love to you from your PFC family. We invite you to enjoy this soulful rendition of PFC Band member, Clarence Bekker, accompanied by Francisco "Rubio" Guisado on guitar, performing an acoustic version of the song "Valerie." Filmed live in Barcelona, Spain, Clarence gives you his take on the song originally performed by The Zutons and later covered by Amy Winehouse.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

GET SOCIAL

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.
