Once upon a time not long ago
there was a boy who would grow and become a great soul
he lived in India and his name was Gandhi
he believed in human rights and he fought for equality

He felt so strongly that he trained himself
he realized first he'd have to change himself
so he changed his clothes, and decided to walk
some days he practiced silence and refused to talk


...

you see Gandhi G was a very great leader
but before all that he was shy and meager
as a young child he was just like you and me
before he became Mahatma Gandhi

the word Mahatma it means great soul
and its inside of us just waiting to unfold
if you follow your heart and act real bold
next time it wll be your story that"s told!

You gotta be the change that you wanna see in the world,
just like Gandhi

Be the change that you wanna see in the world,
just like Gandhi

Scene from the movie "The Silence Before Bach" which according to Rotten Tomatoes: Looks at the profound relationship between image and music where the latter is not merely conceived as subsidiary to the image but as a subject of the narration in its own right. It springs from a previously defined musical structure, and the soundtrack feeds on works by J.S. Bach and two of Felix Mendelssohn's sonatas; a promenade through the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries led by the hand of J.S. Bach.

Dikoboda Dombe. The Aka of Cameroon.

The Aka live in the south-west region of the Central African Republic and have developed a distinctive vocal musical tradition, which involves a complex type of contrapuntal polyphony. Yet, unlike polyphonic systems that are written down in notation, the vocal tradition of the Aka Pygmies allows for spontaneous expression and improvisation. The songs perpetuate essential knowledge for the cohesion of the group and the preservation of community values. The Aka have succeeded in preserving their musical knowledge within the community by including children in rituals from an early age.
The lifestyle of the Aka Pygmies has been drastically disrupted due to the changes currently taking place in the Central African Republic. The scarcity of game resulting from deforestation, the rural exodus and the folklorization of their heritage for the tourist industry are principal factors contributing to the gradual disappearance of many of their traditional customs, rituals and skills.* (*Unesco) Video features images of the sacred plant iboga.

 
 
 
 




Playing the river like a drum. Just as in Melanesia (a subregion of Oceania), this ancient style of music was obviously developed from washing clothes, a unique style of music by beating drums on the water.

 
 
 
 




Mashrou' Leila - Raksit Leila [ official video by yelostudio]

In Beirut, one rock band has been reaching audiences across the Arab world, tackling conservatism and social taboos. Their music has not been universally welcomed but, like elsewhere in the Arab world, social media has generated an opportunity for the young generation to break from their conservative societies and spread a new message. "I feel that with globalisation the people from my generation have changed so much."

Inspired by Aung San Suu Kyi's call to action, "If you're feeling helpless, help someone," Morley Kamen composed this song. She sings at TEDxWomen.

Morley’s warm and soulful voice often gets her compared to Annie Lennox and Roberta Flack. And she uses that gorgeous voice as an instrument of change. Using music to facilitate dialogue, she works with teenagers from domestic and international conflict zones, as well as organizations such as Face to Face/Faith to Faith, the Door, the Lower East Side Girls Club, Code Pink, and the Fortune Society (a program that facilitates reentry into society from prison), to name a few. Her music has been used in an array of films, including Burma and the Media: Amplifying Voices for Democracy.

Morley's next CD, Undivided, will be available in spring 2012; until then, check out her albums Seen, Days Like These, and sunmachine ...

Zooey Deschanel says she has known Joseph Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. They first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where they bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone. They did 500 Days of Summer 8 years later, and spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and make up trailer. They have made a little New Year's duet. The original by Nancy Wilson. ENJOY! Don't forget to check out Joe's website hitrecord.org
