Playing For Change, a collective dedicated to bringing music and arts education to underprivileged children around the world, is debuting its cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” on Mashable, in honor of the first Playing For Change Day on Sept. 17.

The video blends the vocals of the Netherlands’s Clarence Bekker with percussionists from Mali, Senegal, Brazil, Colombia and Jamaica, as well as electric guitars, bass and a kora, a 21-string West African bridge-harp.

On Playing For Change Day, musicians will perform in cafes, sidewalks, town squares and stages to raise money to bring music into the lives of young people. Performances are planned in more than 25 countries in North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe. The events range from day-long festivals to personal celebrations such as weddings.
