Guantanamera | Playing For Change | Song Around The World

We invite you to watch and enjoy another Song Around The World from our PFC 3 album, "Guantanamera". We started the song with Carlos Varela in Havana and it features over 75 Cuban musicians around the world, from Havana and Santiago to Miami, Barcelona and Tokyo. We recorded and produced this track with Jackson Browne, who explains that "traveling with Playing For Change across Cuba was one of the most rewarding and inspiring musical experiences of my life."

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.

I’m American and speak no Spanish. But the subtitles allowed me to read the translation and their beauty brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful.

One of my dad's favorites still makes me cry. Music for the soul.

My mom lived in exile from her homeland of Cuba for 70 years. A couple of days ago this song just kept coming in my head and I found this video I have cried and cried and cried watching it and this afternoon my sweet mom passed away. Thank you for the great performance and the love I feel watching it.

As a non Spanish speaker I never realized the depth of this song. Thanks for the subtitles.

I am in the hills of south Wales and can't help returning to this video. I went to Cuba about seven years ago and left with the unshakeable memory of the incredible spirit of the Cuban people, a spirit that is perfectly summed up in this wonderful rendering of 'Cuba's Song'. I must get back there before my time is up. Viva Cuba!

It was a privilege to visit Cuba last month and to feel the warmth of the people, the passion of their music, and the soul of their food. It is a loving place that handles difficulty with grace and humility.

Music builds bridges between Hearts and Souls.

My father had a 45 record with this song. It was written in my heart when I was very small and I will always love it. Love to the people in Cuba from South Africa, may the change come which you are longing for.

I visited Cuba…beautiful beaches, land & sky…….but I fell completely in love with its people. Cubans are the most beautiful people I have had the privilege to meet. They live in my heart.

La première fois que j'ai écouté la chanson j'étais immigrée de la Belgique en 1963 et dès l'âge de 5 ans ma mère à Labrador-City avit un 33 tours de cette merveilleuse musique cubaine...merci j'ai 62 en 2021

Imagine if you and I, all us human beings, were as good as our music. What a beautiful world it would be!

[elliottsewell]

I am a lifelong musician (keyboards) living in rural Kentucky hills. Playing for Change is the most positive force that I can name. It is the only thing that gives me hope in a unified NON-GLOBALIST world where we are working together in harmony. I am absolutely thrilled and feel ecstatic just listening to several songs. Everyone is so beautiful as is the world portrayed, wherever they may be. This is the best musical experience I have ever had.

[surferpam]

As a woman born and raised in Southern California, U.S.A, I am free to say anything I wish... And I wish to proclaim my heart swells and my eyes fill with the tears of joy at the beautiful, proud Cuban people who make music with passion and Love. May we come together over this kind of music, wonderful food, laughter and the joy that lies in our hearts. Salud!

I’m a Guantanamera Cuban Canadian. Listening this song give chills and bring back memories of my hometown in a small village in the Guantánamo province where I spent my childhood 😢. The song was written based on the poem and versus of our Cuban treasure our national hero Jose Marti . God bless humanity 🇨🇺🇨🇦

[denniswiese]

This music helps us to realize that we must never exploit or differences but celebrate our similarities. Peace, love and music. These are our common language.

I am suffering deep sadness and God sent me this to lift me up. What a beautiful display of unity and love. Thank you. Love is all we need!
