Groove in G - Playing for Change

I mentioned the other day that this is one of my favorite Playing for Change videos. It's no particular song, just a jam session including musicians from around the world. I figure people who truly appreciate music can really appreciate how awesome this turned out.

The description with the video:
We started this track in West Africa with a musical group named Tinariwen. We asked them to play a groove in the key of G, then as we traveled the world we added more musicians to the song. Over the course of our travels, it transformed into a global jam with its roots in the blues.

And thanks for checking it out. It's been a great experience, watching these videos over the years, to hear musicians from around the world that I may never have heard before otherwise.
