Music for Social Change

I had the opportunity to work with three local musicians preparing for an upcoming Occupy Falmouth event in which they will be performing.  It was great fun and they were really tolerant of me setting up cameras, lights and microphones all around them.

I have no musical talent at all so I was just in awe of how these guys, who were together for the first time, were able to play off one another and how each one was able to intuit where the others were going.

In the video you will hear them describe the history of music in protest movements and how they believe music speaks to people in a way that language can't.
