A video project of Playing for Change, described below:״The act of playing music with people of different cultures, religions, economics and politics is a powerful statement.

Afropop producers have collectively made seven field research trips to the country. They've sometimes spent months there, visiting remote locations and building close relationships with artists. Many of these artists have built loyal international followings and delighted American audiences. In fact, no other African country can boast having as many artists signed to US record labels or touring agencies: , , , , , , , , and others. The 100 songs on this channel, compiled with input from Christopher Kirkley of the blog and label , only scratch the surface of Mali's musical treasures. Despite inevitable omissions, this stream provides a representative introduction to the country's key regions, genres and artists, and a powerful reason to care about Mali's fate as it faces profoundly difficult times. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=753762 Online Magazine about World Music - a space for the appreciation of independent music worldwide and knowledge sharing. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=752552 Frog calls and documentary video clips of scientists discussing frog issues, including declining amphibians and malformed frogs. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=749812 The Keeping Score web site is designed to give people of all musical backgrounds an opportunity to explore the music and life of the composers featured in the Keeping Score television series in depth, and at their own pace.
