the gift that carries on...

THE VOICE PROJECT
i've been so excited to share this with you all since i heard about it. each and every cover is fabulous. the acholi women are inspirational. read about the movement. the power of music to heal, move, and promote peace is amazing.
i feel like embedding all of these videos would be a little overload, so click the header and it will take you to all of them. but, for good measure, here are a couple favorites...

this is one of my favorite songs from the edward sharpe album and i'm slightly obsessed with this cover--makes me want to live in southern california and play music all day.

and here's a better than the original (in my opinion)

Gulu Women's Choir » Joe Purdy from The Voice Project on Vimeo.

if only i could whistle like andrew bird...he's such a beautiful musician
