De todos los músicos que han participado y participan en el proyecto «Playing for Change», Grandpa Elliot es uno de los que más ha calado. Este hombre blues man de Nueva Orleans, consigue poner la piel de gallina con su voz áspera y su inseparable armónica.

Playing for Change anuncia en su newsletter : Come and enjoy «Fannie Mae» by Grandpa Elliott, a 24 hour exclusive video at playingforchange.com.

Fannie Mae es una canción de 1959 que popularizó Buster Brown (american blues and R&B singer) y que se caracteriza por el protagonismo de la armónica.

Grandpa Elliot rinde así su tributo a su ciudad , Nueva Orleans, con esta nueva perla musical de Playing for Change.

Del Newsletter de PFCH : As the Playing For Change team traveled the world searching for music and inspiration, we found personalities and moments in time that made it clear we were on the right path. One of those moments came early in our travels to New Orleans, LA with Grandpa Elliott. He has become a great symbol for the soul of music, and has been playing on the streets of New Orleans for over 50 years. His music brought a calm to the city after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and this live performance of «Fanny Mae» in Jackson Square demonstrates how much soul and emotion one man can have.

Sometimes a song from a street singer is just enough to make us enjoy our day and carry on with life a little better than before. One song at a time.

One Love,
Mark Johnson
