Collaboration, Cultural Awareness and the Global Music Project

A few days ago I came across the Global Music Project, an international non profit whose goal is to unite musicians and music lovers in order to foster cultural awareness, and strengthen collaboration, peace and understanding in areas of conflict.

Collaboration, Cultural Awareness and the Global Music Project

The Global Music Project runs several music preservation and music discovery projects that connect musicians and fans to progressive businesses, social activists, event promoters and others who believe in the power of music to educate and inspire humanity. Their current project includes recording music and video footage from developing cultures throughout the world, promoting, marketing, and distributing these recordings globally and showcasing these artist’s work by connecting them to a global audience.

They have a vast database of music available for anyone to listen to for free. Check them out at http://globalmusicproject.org
