Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

Guantánamo girl, country girl from Guantanamo I am a truthful man
from the land of the palm tree And before I die I want to share these verses of my soul Guantánamo girl, country girl from Guantánamo I cultivate a white rose in July the same as in January I cultivate a white rose in July the same as in January for the true friend who offers me his hand in friendship And for the cruel one who tears out the heart
by which I live And for the cruel one who tears out the heart
by which I live I culti
vate neither
thorns nor bitter leaves I cultivate a white rose Guantánamo girl, country girl from Guantánamo With the poor of the Earth, I want to cast my fate With the poor of the Earth, I want to cast my fate The mountain stream pleases me more than the sea (To my little pretty Cuba) I know of a deep sorrow among the ones without a name The slavery of man is the world’s greatest sorrow Guantánamo girl country girl from Guantánamo Don't put me in the dark to die like a traitor (Listen to me, pa
rty-goer)
Don't put me in the dark to die like a traitor I am good, and like the good I will die with my face to the sun
(I’m telling you) Guantánamo girl, country girl from Guantánamo In the distant countryside,
in any street, on a hill, on a plain, in a Havana corner, I’ll give you my inspiration, as big as a prairie You who listen to my song sing with me: Guantanamera!

...and nine years later a man in cold rainy England has a huge smile on his face after discovering this wonderful arrangement of a classic song ❤
It was a privilege to visit Cuba last month and to feel the warmth of the people, the passion of their music, and the soul of their food. It is a loving place that handles difficulty with grace and humility.
Desde Japón 🇭🇳🎌...viva mi querida Honduras y mi amada Latinoamérica!! Saludos mis hermanos Cubanos y Latinos dispersos por el mundo, que llevamos nuestro corazón latino donde sea que vayamos!!
Who wishes they were Cuban listening to this!? Beautiful people, beautiful land 🥊🎉
Who's here for this masterpiece song in 2023 ❤❤?
Super song. From Russia with love❤
My father had a 45 record with this song. It was written in my heart when I was very small and I will always love it. Love to the people in Cuba from South Africa, may the change come which you are longing for.
I’m American and speak no Spanish. But the subtitles allowed me to read the translation and their beauty brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful.
I grew up with this song. It's one of those that pops in your head every now and then❤ Love it!
As a Canadian who visited Cuba for five-years in a row from 1993 to 19997 in our northern wintertime, I must say that this is one of the best versions of Guantanamera that I have come across. In my and my mom and dad's first visit to Varadero in early-winter of 1993 in Varadero we stayed at the Tuxpan Hotel where we got a feel for what is was like to stay and get used to the local environment of a sub-tropical country. Aside from Guantanamera, the most requested song, by my Mom, of course, was Besame Mucho by the four-some who walked around the dining room floor for supper entertaining the guests. After all these years, I still cannot believe that the USA government has not normalized relations with the Cuban government. Sad story. Viva Cuba!
My mom lived in exile from her homeland of Cuba for 70 years. A couple of days ago this song just kept coming in my head and I found this video I have cried and cried and cried watching it and this afternoon my sweet mom passed away. Thank you for the great performance and the love I feel watching it.
Beautiful. Salud from Canada !!!! Viva Cuba 🇨🇺
