Playing for Change’s ‘Get Up, Stand Up’

The World

The project, Playing for Change, has artists from around the globe play together virtually. With the pandemic, Playing for Change dropped a new track for 2021: a cover of Bob Marley’s “Get Up, Stand Up.” Some of the artists on this latest track include Songhoy Blues from Mali, guitarist Louis Mhlanga from Zimbabwe, Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones and even Bob Marley’s daughter, Cedella Marley, and her son, Skip Marley.
