A musician friend shared this video with me, and I think it speaks volumes. We often talk about music as the universal language, but this demonstrates it so clearly. It's part of some incredible documentary footage put together by Playing for Change, which describes itself as "a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music." A laudable goal, and the movement has certainly provided me with some inspiration. As economic distress reduces the funds available to schools for music programs, and pits different groups against each other, let's think about what micro-movements we might undertake in our own communities to create unity through the language of music.
