I think the first song these folks did was "Stand By Me". You can find others on YouTube.

I think the name of the organization is "Playing For Change".

It has a double meaning in English. A street musician who plays and leaves his guitar case open for donations is said to be "playing for change". So the musicians are always filmed outside in informal settings.

And, of course, the intended meaning is "Playing for (a) Change" in the world.

It's really a great thing.
